WRI 103: Research Design and Methods in Writing Studies
Units: 4
Introduces research design and methodologies in Writing Studies. Provides interdisciplinary perspectives on Writing Studies and experience with research design approaches in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Applies a mixture of qualitative (e.g., interview, ethnographic observation) and quantitative approaches (e.g., survey, corpus-based text analysis, code trees) to multiple practice projects. Students will write a research proposal that involves rigorous methodology.
This methodology course in Writing Studies will draw from approaches shared across several humanities and social sciences disciplines. For example, the qualitative research component includes techniques such as observations, interviews, stimulated recalls which are common approaches used in ethnographic studies in Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, and Linguistics The quantitative approach involves using experiments, surveys, and a corpus-based approach to text analysis, which are often used in Applied Linguistics, Psychology, and Education. Readings and guest speakers will be practitioners of methodologies across humanities fields, relevant to Writing Studies.
