We attend especially to scholarship in the field that is explicitly interested in engaging beyond the academy walls, both in bringing scholarly work to non-academic publics&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;also in joining and building communities of thinkers that are not based in the academy. We look at public-facing platforms and public-facing initiatives such as the Op-Ed project,&nbsp;<em>The Conversation<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Signs\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;\u201cAsk a Feminist\u201d series, Wikipedia Edit-a-Thons,&nbsp;<em>Public Books<\/em>, and NYU Press\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Avidly Reads&nbsp;<\/em>series. The course has students practice public-facing communication: we write brief essays that we send out for publication. We have the opportunity to create videos and\/or podcasts. Overall, our goal is not only to write about feminism but to produce feminist work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three central learning objectives frame the course: (1) to have students understand and practice a range of public-facing academic communication, experimenting with different voices; (2) to have students become familiar with central platforms and initiatives that support this work and to be able to think critically about these; (3) to have students consider how literary and cultural criticism can be and has been practiced in community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[47,10],"class_list":["post-1768","course","type-course","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive-courses","category-spring"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-03 21:24:09","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/uwcps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course\/1768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/uwcps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/uwcps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/course"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/uwcps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/uwcps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
