Exploring Experiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our individual experiences are often the most compelling sites from which we begin to tackle larger issues \u2013 complex, unpredictable, or even just confounding. In addition to providing fertile ground for a writer, all these experiences also play a powerful role in shaping how we see the world around us, and how we see ourselves in that world. The writers in this section embrace the curiosity that drives them to build those personal experiences into foundations for deep reflection, research, and explication \u2013 all to bring the reader alongside their own meaning making.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constructing Extended Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustaining large-scale writing projects requires that writers tackle many paths of inquiry: negotiating multiple conversations through layered research processes; self-reflexivity regarding prior knowledge and experience; questioning the assumptions of their own intended audiences as well as those in their research; even considering form and genre for their own final product. The writers included here engage on all counts, and what results are pieces that open provocative questions and offer insightful (and sometimes surprising!) conclusions.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metacognition \u2013 reflection on your own thinking \u2013 is essential for any writer. After all, writing and research are about rhetorical choices, and we make the best choices when we are aware of how we think and learn. Whether to look back at what you\u2019ve done and see how to improve, or to look ahead to strategize the best way to approach your work, thinking about writing starts before you begin and ends after you finish any one piece of work.

Locating the Conversation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Responding to Experiences<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When responding to these experiences as academics, we broaden the definition of texts to \u201canything that conveys a set of meanings to the person who examines it,\u201d including personal experiences, films, works of art, etc. In this section, these essays move beyond initial, gut-level responses to texts to investigate them in new, meaningful ways.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the writing process readers <\/em>question what they read and research, interrogating a work\u2019s meanings, its claims, and the quality of its evidence. In this section, these writers make the important moves of acknowledging other ways of looking at their ideas, even going so far as to entertaining objections. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adapting to Context<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practicing Metacognition<\/h2>\n

Metacognition \u2013 reflection on your own thinking \u2013 is essential for any writer. After all, writing and research are about rhetorical choices, and we make the best choices when we are aware of how we think and learn. Whether to look back at what you\u2019ve done and see how to improve, or to look ahead to strategize the best way to approach your work, thinking about writing starts before you begin and ends after you finish any one piece of work. This section shows metacognition in action.<\/em><\/p>\n

Blending the Personal & Research<\/h2>\n

Our experiences shape how we react to the world around us. However, academic writers vary in the extent to which they allow the personal to manifest in the written products of their research. That said, bringing the personal to research, if done adeptly, is an effective way of not only making one\u2019s work more convincing, but also boosting one\u2019s own motivation for doing research. These essays move beyond initial, gut-level responses to issues to investigate them in new, meaningful ways<\/em><\/p>\n

Writers often find their topics in the world around them, including the popular culture that informs so much of our waking life. In this section, authors raise meaningful questions about popular culture and explore those questions in modes beyond the traditional essay.<\/em><\/p>\n

Critically Analyzing Texts<\/h2>\n

Perceptive writers question what they encounter, interrogating a work\u2019s meanings, its claims, and the quality of its evidence. A <\/em>critical analysis may draw on the writer\u2019s personal experiences or knowledge of other works, yet the foundation of the essay is grounded in the text itself. These essays help the reader understand the merits and limits of their examined texts, and also how individual elements contribute to their power and significance.<\/em><\/p>\n

In doing so, they are able to generate new ways of thinking about their topics.<\/i><\/p>\n
