http://digitalwriting101.net/wp-content/uploads/audio/kat-healing-my-womanhood.mp3 I composed this essay for people who are interested in exploring gender and sexuality issues. I’m hoping that it will help them to understand issues that many women face.

Video by Trey and Spenser (WRTG 3020 – Fall 2013) In terms of gender and sexuality times are changing, especially in the department of our refractory military.

I don’t often teach WRTG 1150, but the last time I did (in Fall 2010), we focused on digital literacy as a topic and a practice. Students composed digital literacy narratives, which they recorded as audio essays. I’ve included a small selection of these essays below. Scroll down the page for more information on the […]
