Russ, To respond to your question: > my question is really, is Graham more centrally concerned with the > study of how writing is used in professions, or is this primarily a > course in which people will learn how to _do_ professional writing > (it's hard for me to imagine a course in which you learned how to do > the wonderful stuff Pete's architecture students do . . . ). The seminar will look at how writing is used in the workplace/professions, rather than try to teach how to *do* professional writing. However, I will be asking the participants to do some on-site research looking at a particular genre in a professional/organizational setting of their choosing; they'll each be examining some socio-cultural aspect of a genre and then writing this up, hopefully as a conference paper or publication.
