The course asks students to locate themselves in relation to contemporary cultural domains or "nodes," including (but not limited to) identity, networks, music, education, and space. Students will write in a variety of genres, from essays to webpages, and engage in a variety of mediums, such as film, music, images, text, and webtext. Through their reading and writing, students are asked to explore the overall theme, "You Are Here," in order to develop a sense of cultural location. Additionally, the class will introduce and build upon established rhetorical concepts and techniques. "You Are Here" helps students develop their rhetorical skills and cultural knowledge while discovering the complexities of writing, communicating, and composing.
