This class is about writing and academic inquiry, and in this section of Eng 125, we will specifically examine writing and composition from a selection of readings centered on the theme of language and multiplicity. From essays to short stories to Ted Talks, we will interrogate how multiplicity within backgrounds, cultural identity, experiences, and places impact language usage and a sense of belonging in people’s daily lives. We will think with various writers on what such human or language pluralities represent for them.
