- Writing is not simply a functional art limited to the production of content; it is a critical, deeply social, and always political practice.
- Writing is making. And remaking.
- Writing is action.
- Writing involves understanding connecting with another.
- Writing is a recursive practice: writers plan, draft, (re)plan, (re)draft . . . .
- Writing is play.
- Writing is messy.
- Writing is a powerful means of making sense of the world(s) in which we live.
These assumptions about what writing is and does challenge me to perform three responsibilities: (1) to develop, organize, and implement a curriculum that both affirms and also challenges the writing histories and experience learners bring to the course ; (2) to model thoughtful, engaged, and rigorous intellectual curiosity about writing; and (3) to motivate the students with whom I am fortunate to work to challenge themselves as readers, thinkers, writers, and citizens.
