Description

Writing Our Bodies offers students a holistic approach to writing that intertwines embodied rhetorics with critical inquiry and academic conventions. Beginning with an introduction to rhetorical embodiment and personal experience, the text guides learners through writing to analyze, take a stand, revise, synthesize sources, and make arguments with research, while attending to how identity, technology, linguistic diversity, and power influence both reading and writing. Emphasizing reflection, audience awareness, disciplinary literacy, and ethical source use, this resource prepares students to write purposefully across contexts and audiences.
