Kommentar/Beschreibung

Professional Writing and Discussion classes are designed to allow students – under the guidance of their course instructors – to undertake a more active and independent development of their language skills by applying them to a specific topic area. Ultimately, the central aim of these courses, whatever topic area and skills focus you choose, is to facilitate your transition into a self-sufficient and proficient user of the English language. You will continue to train your productive and receptive language skills, you will further expand your lexico-grammatical knowledge in connection with the specialist language used in the course, and you will acquire supplementary cultural knowledge on English-speaking countries. You will be expected to attend class regularly and contribute actively and intelligently. Furthermore, you will need to complete oral and written tasks during the course of these classes, hold a graded session and submit a final written portfolio.

This particular course has been developed specifically due to requests from female students of English who would like to discuss issues related to gender and sexism in their target language. After introductory sessions in which we will clarify the parameters of the course and how we will be approaching the topics that we aim to discuss, we will turn our attention to three major areas: 1. Treatment of women in society, 2. Discourse around women's bodies, 3. Representation of women in public discourse. We will be approaching the subject matter of the course from an intersectional feminist perspective, though we will also draw on earlier waves of feminism for historical context and generational comparisons.

Trigger warning: By necessity, this course will involve discussions around difficult topics including physical, sexual and psychological abuse against women. This will require care in the way we approach our discussions in class, and I as a non-female instructor will be encouraging female students to join me in shaping the discussion format in class. This requires diligent preparation, so I actively request any students who have ideas, concerns or requests about the course and our approach to it to contact me quickly so that we can tackle them together.

Up to seven spots in the course can be allocated in advance to students who come to one of my office hours on January 30th or February 6th, 13th or 17th (note: email is not an acceptable alternative to this!) and confirm that they (1) are prepared to commit to taking the course and (2) have identified a topic that they would like to investigate for their class session. All other registrations are provisional and will be allocated based on factors such as level of need and semester of study.
