About the Course
This intensive advanced course is one of two offered in conjunction with the Genre 2012 Conference. Designed for students who already have a background in Genre Studies, the course includes two full-days, one before and one after the conference (June 25 and June 30, 2012), and requires mandatory attendance of all conference keynote addresses, special sessions, and at least one general session per day. Areas of focus include (but are not limited to) English for Specific Purposes, North American Genre Theory, and the Sydney and Brazilian Schools of Genre. Pre- and post-conference course presentations and workshops will be offered by such internationally-renowned genre scholars as Adair Bonini, Janet Giltrow, James Martin, Carolyn Miller, John Swales, and others. The goal of this course is to expose students to and involve them in cutting edge developments in research and theory in genre studies. Students will be asked to write a paper focusing on a particular school of genre studies or on the work of one (or more) prominent genre scholar(s) participating in the conference. The paper will be due in early August 2012.
