Communication across the Curriculum, a Discussion Series

"Designing | Writing" presented by Professor Julia R. Lupton

Wednesday, November 13, 2013
2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Humanities Gateway 1010

Our students are increasingly asked not only to write well, but also to communicate
effectively through a range of venues and platforms, whether it is through social
media campaign, multimedia presentation, poster presentation, or oral delivery.
This quarterly workshop series will showcase how different faculty and staff work
with students to develop diverse communication skills and strategies in a variety of
course, disciplinary, and even co-curricular contexts.

In our first discussion, Professor Julia R. Lupton, from the departments of English
and Comparative Literature, will consider how writing in many contemporary
contexts has more and more in common with designing, particularly as composers
often have to craft text in relation to images, audio, and video, as well as think of the
design affordances of textuality itself.

Please RSVP at icruse@uci.edu by Tuesday, November 12, 2013.

The event is sponsored by the UCI Office of the Campus Writing Coordinator.
