Abstract
Understanding and navigating different discourses requires certain cognitive and rhetorical skills. This workshop-style presentation will offer an introduction to the theory of habits of mind – how professionals in various disciplines perceive the world differently – and then engage participants in a series of activities to model the practical applications of this theory and provide writing instruction that encourages student reflection and transfer across the curriculum.
