English 306: Youth Revolution & Resistance
2014 Summer Pre-Session
May 19-June 7
9:00AM-11:50PM
In this advanced composition course, we will learn about the complexities of youth revolutionary discourse in various regions, from Egypt to Tucson. We will compose projects that explore and research concepts of revolution and resistance, asking such questions as:
What is a revolution? What are revolutionary acts? Under what circumstances do revolutions occur? What are the consequences and effects of revolutions? And how might youth writing and rhetoric motivate resistance and transformation?
Writing for this course will include personal narrative, rhetorical analysis, and resistance genres such as slam poetry and zines.
