ENGL21002 - WRITING FOR THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

“Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.” –
Zora Neale Hurston


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Instructor: Shamecca Harris | sharris1@ccny.cuny.edu

Office Hours: MW 3:30PM – 4:30PM or by appointment

Office: NAC 6/222

EC [59024] MW 12:30PM – 1 :45 PM| NAC 1/301Y

This dynamic English Composition course asks students to both create and engage
with texts, in a variety of forms, that examine human societies and cultures
through research and observation. In this class, students will read and write
voraciously about ethnographic research and learn fundamental strategies for
finding and honing a topic, taking notes, conducting research, and writing a
fieldwork project. Research for this course will not be confined to the library
or the Internet, rather students will be asked to observe, listen, interpret,
and analyze the behaviors of those around them and include these perspectives in
their own writing.

Throughout the semester, students will also consciously consider what it means
to write academically at the college level via regular self-reflection and
revision. In doing so, students will strengthen their rhetorical knowledge and
further develop an iterative writing process that they can apply to written
assignments across genres and disciplines throughout college and beyond.

This course is uniquely designed for students who are interested in pursuing
majors in the social sciences including anthropology, sociology, and cultural
studies.
