Composition

Handwritten note says: 1 req. course in Fresh, Comp. Topics oriented course with theme writing a vital part
I take an epistemic view of composition as creation of knowledge. I am fascinated by how writing does work in the world and people's lives. The image for "composition" on my home page is a photo I took of an art piece called "Chalkboard" by Christian Marclay from an exhibit I saw at MACBA in Barcelona. I love spontaneous acts of writing.

The image above was a scribbled note I found in the many things my father saved in his basement. It's his notes on teaching first-year composition (FYC) and captures perfectly that historical moment. The second part of Composition refers to the discipline of teaching writing. As Weiser (2002) said: "Teaching first-year composition is not simply something anyone can do; it requires disciplinary knowledge and support, and one way to get both that knowledge and support is to work with an experienced teacher/scholar" (p. 44). I aim to add to this knowledge in both my scholarship and my teaching.
