By the time this executive order passed, I had already planned to teach a course titled “Rhetoric of Storytelling” that included a Critical Race Theory (CRT) reading from Aja Martinez advocating for counterstory. In response to the murder of George Floyd and subsequent protests during the summer of 2020, my academic department, like many institutions nationwide, issued a statement in support of Black Lives Matter. In addition, my department formed a reading group and working group on anti-racist pedagogy that discussed texts and strategies for incorporating more voices of color into curriculum. Still, when my department met at the beginning of the quarter, I was in a breakout session with a white, male colleague, who expressed confusion as to how he might incorporate non-white voices into his first-year and advanced writing courses. With all the shade intended, I told him that the first week alone of first-year writing featured three women of color, Gloria Anzaldúa, Michelle Obama, and Amy Tan.  \nWhile “Rhetoric of Storytelling” was not labeled a “diversity” course within my university’s core curriculum, the course meets the advanced writing requirement for all students at my institution, and the inclusion of BIPOC writers and scholars in such a course demonstrates how courses can avoid upholding white supremacist practices that center white voices as authoritative and necessary. Through the inclusion of voices of color, we can recognize authors from diverse backgrounds as holders and creators of knowledge, too.“Rhetoric of Storytelling” looks at the purposes of storytelling across different rhetorical traditions, beginning with Ancient Greek and Roman traditions and traversing African American, Indigenous Latin American, American Indian, feminist, and Latinx rhetorical traditions. The course operates from the assumption that storytelling is an epistemic practice, and that storytelling and narration serve similar, if not the same, purpose as academic writing, drawing on the lived experiences of the writer. In fulfilling the course’s goals, the students are to:  \n1) formulate and articulate the significance, role and purpose of storytelling based on course material; 2) participate actively and responsibly as a member  \nComposition Studies 49.2 (2021): 96–104  \nof a small learning community to build knowledge on writing, rhetoric, and storytelling; 3) effectively analyze, interpret, and evaluate literary, critical, and theoretical texts; 4) recognize commonplace arguments about storytelling and articulate counterarguments; and 5) design and complete a substantial and original research or writing project.  \nDescription of Institutional Context  \nMy institution is a small liberal arts Jesuit university in Silicon Valley. The course is the third required writing course following a two-sequence first-year writing course called “Critical Thinking and Writing.” According to the Santa Clara University (SCU) catalogue,“Rhetoric of Storytelling”:  \nBuilds on learning in Critical Thinking and Writing courses to deepen familiarity with values, genres, and conventions relevant to particular disciplines such as STEM, Business, Humanities, Arts, or Social Sciences. Stresses research skills connected with analysis and rhetorical reading and writing skills, especially revision with close attention to audience and purpose. Assignments will reflect increased sophistication in critical reading and writing with a purpose for particular audiences. (“Department of English”)  \nThe course meets requirements for the department’s English minor, and it previously met requirements for the Professional Writing (PW) minor (befo","cbCairCYppb2Vm48","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairCYppb2Vm48","pdf",137880,"English","# Course Description\n## Description of Institutional Context","[{\"question\":\"What is the central purpose of the Core Advanced Writing course described here?\",\"answer\":\"The course treats storytelling as an epistemic practice and examines the purposes of storytelling across rhetorical traditions while connecting storytelling to academic writing and narration.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the course define the students’ learning goals?\",\"answer\":\"Students are expected to articulate the role and purpose of storytelling, participate responsibly in a learning community, analyze and evaluate texts, recognize and counter common arguments, and complete a substantial original research or writing project.\"},{\"question\":\"What institutional context shapes how the course is implemented and assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The course is a third required writing course in a Jesuit liberal arts university context, built on earlier first-year writing sequences, and it includes library database research, an annotated bibliography, and a 10-week quarter culminating in 20 pages of revised writing.\"}]","Course Designs - Core Advanced Writing: Rhetoric of Storytelling | PDF",1792088508,23]
