Module 10: The coded gaze
Hi! Hello! It’s so funny, I talk so much about access and being kind to yourself and yet I feel this innate urge to apologize for being unavailable last week. So I guess I will say I’m sorry because I do really care about your learning space and I hope that comes through. I think […]
Module 9: Let’s chat abt ChatGPT
Hey everyone! I hope you had a great break and were able to get some rest and rejuvenation. We don’t have much longer in the semester so I am going to try and provide you with as much applicable content as I can, so that you leave feeling like you’ve gotten something from this course! […]
Module 8: Mid semester “Work In Progress”
Okay let’s do this! We’re about halfway through the semester and I want to make sure you all have ample opportunity to practice writing in genres you’ll be asked to do in different classes. This Work In Progress is meant to be messy. It’s meant to be like a draft, my interest is not in […]
Module 7: Writing as an equation
Hey everyone! How are you? I guess we’re sort of half way through the semester? Next week I’ll introduce our mid semester project (spoiler: it will be low stakes and more writing practice). Now that we’ve thought about the broad strokes of writing and a bit about research, I want to get granular. I asked […]

I preach a lot about student agency and I now I feel like I […]

Module 3: Who benefits from science
Hey everyone! I’m loving all of your thoughtful responses to these sections. It’s great to see you take some time and sort of chew on these ideas about neutrality and objectivity. I’m sure plenty of professionals in your respective fields never do this deep dig, it’s provocative af! and forces us to really take into […]
Module 2: Science is probably not neutral.
Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments on the first module. It seems like you enjoyed the first three sections of Science Under The Scope. Before we jump into the content of the text, I want to mention why I chose it. This course is a “writing composition” class so we get […]
