Introduction: How we read and write about culture (and how we ought to) -- How we believe: In what way does what we know shape our daily actions? -- How we watch and listen: Does what we see and hear depend on how we're looking and listening? -- How we eat: which rules dictate the foods we put in our bodies? -- How we learn: what are our perceptions of knowledge and the ways we should acquire that knowledge? -- How we work: What do our jobs say about us? -- How we connect: What forces help -- and hinder -- our relationships with others? -- How we identify: Do the roles we play reflect who we truly are?. |
| Summary |
Cultural messages bombard students daily, laden with unstated rules about what makes our work valuable, our bodies ideal, our connections meaningful. Acting Out Culture empowers students to critically read those messages and use writing to speak back to their culture and question its rules. |
