Writing & Rhetoric 1: Health Matters: Health Innovation and Communication

Download as PDF

Course Description

PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. In this course, we will engage with the dynamic health sector in all its complexity. We will explore health matters in many contexts, as we read academic and popular writing in several media. Beginning with the premise that 'health' needs to be defined and studied in context - health is not a universal concept, and it means different things to different people - we will enter the conversation, as students, critics, and scholars.
