Below is a favourite slide of mine; I use a version of it in all my #writingstudies courses. It's a bare bones set of 4 questions that helps in grasping nearly every research article. Plus a 5th question that helps make the step to one's own project. #cdnwrds #wrds150 #wrds350...
Phew.
I just hope all the students got it after those very intense 20 minutes. 4/

Longish thread. Or, more like a convo that I accidentally turned into a long thread. If you're interested in political theory, here's me arguing against the concept of tribalism and for using counterpublic theory in its stead.

@kristinarola: should we cite bush knowledge? how can bush knowledge be cited? what would it look like to cite bush knowledge? not sure if she wants anyone to cite her bush knowledge.

Or, as the threshold for having an impact on social media is rising, how does that impact felicity conditions for the genres of political movements? (Yes, we talked about speech act theory, too.) 2/ #wrds350 #ubcengl #writingstudies
Interesting genre research in to different types of written threats. #cdnwrds #genrestudies #genre #wrds350
I'm officially done my teaching term. Conference, research, & course development season has begun. I started by reading Anne Ruggles Gere's recent *PMLA* article "The Ways Our Students Write Now." 1/

@erin_bartram wrote an important piece about the magnitude of loss that comes with humanities PhDs not finding jobs in their field. I quote-tweet crucial parts here. #cdnedu #cdnpse #cdnwrds #highered #adjunctlife #wrds350 #twitterstorians #writingstudies #genrestudies
Oh, I love this: #reviewsforscience! "Tea strainers and colanders are one of the most-reviewed items, having been used to drain mashed testicles, sift bones out of cat feces and for sieving parasites out of poop." #wrds350...
Retweeting this piece because it contains some fab clues about genre knowledge for students in my upper-year seminar. #genrestudies #ubcengl #wrds350 #writingstudies #teamrhetoric

This piece by Brittney Cooper is so good, so thoughtful, so necessary, I’m tempted to quote every second sentence in this thread. Please read. #cdnwrds #wrds350 #cdnpse #cdnedu #diversecanlit #HigherEducation
“Academe is not built for the kind of immediate & forceful resistance that social & digital media tools have provided to communities more used to being theorized about than having the opportunity to do the theorizing.” #wrds350 #cdnwrds
Ethical researchers don't take money from Peter Thiel. Here's why: "Evasion may have been key to drawing interest from conservative backers, including Thiel, who view FDA oversight and rules as innovation-stifling." #wrds350...
