Program Statement

 

The graduate program in composition involves a community of students and faculty in researching and teaching literacy, rhetoric, and writing. While we are concerned with broad issues of written communication, our location in the cultural center of Detroit leads us to focus on writing  in urban communities and professional settings.  At the local level, as well as nationally and globally,  writing now takes complex and multiple forms, including multimedia composing for electronic environments.  Through our digital literacy initiative, WSU students and faculty are exploring contemporary issues in the design and distribution of textual artifacts, as well as the construction of theoretical and methodological frameworks for researching and teaching in new media environments.
