overarching concern of much of eighteenth-century literature is the problem of how to read the body. The Country Wife is about a notorious rake whose challenge is to feign impotence to other men while making women understand that he is still very much – indeed, now more than ever—open for business. Swift’s Lady’s Dressing Room seeks to “expose” the armory of powders, paints, and pomades that women use to dissimulate the “reality” of their bodies. Likewise, Tristram Shandy evinces an obsession with gesture and posture—the doffing of a hat, the flourish of a walking stick, the angle of the orating body. Persuasion thematizes the challenges of discerning thoughts and feelings on the surfaces of the body when social circumstances render point-blank verbal declarations either improper or impossible. What forms does the eighteenth century’s investment in body-reading take, what significances does it seem to have (what “other” problems might it seem to stand for?), and how does it change over time or across different texts? Your discussion may focus on the works named above, or you may choose other examples; either way, your answer should engage with at least two different gen

Next week, we will begin a new unit where we will explore and eventually write interdiscplinary research papers. Beginning next week, we will be reading some theoretical pieces on language that will help set us up for thinking about interdiscplinary topics around language. Then we will read scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that demonstrate the kind of research you will find and use for your own research papers. Those scholarly articles may cross disciplines as varied as language and public health, language and sociology, language and history, language and political science, language and technology, and language and legal studies (just to name a few). Ultimately, however, your research paper topics should reflect your own interests.
*****Where do you situate yourself in interdiscplinary studies? What academic disciplines and disciplinary crossings are of interest to you? How do your academic interests coincide with your professional or personal interests? Has talking about language, literacy, and communication prompted any connections to your own scholarly interests?
be careful when you answer this question you will do the big research topic on it.

Presentation on Student Movements and Their Influence on Ethnic Studies
For this assignment, you will work in groups to create a presentation on one of the five student movements that have shaped Ethnic Studies. You have the opportunity to choose which group you wish to join, based on your interest in one of the following topics:
5. The Women’s Of The TWLF Movement
Historical Background: The TWLF was formed in 1968-69 by a coalition of minority student groups at San
Francisco State University and UC
Berkeley. Inspired by global anti-colonial movements and the Black Panther Party, the TWLF fought for the creation of a Third World College to address the lack of representation of marginalized communities in the curriculum. The involvement of Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color was pivotal in the movement.
Key Events and Actions: The TWLF led the longest student strike in history, beginning at San Francisco State University and spreading to UC Berkeley, where it pushed for the establishment of the Department of Ethnic Studies in 1969. The TWLF’s demands included self-determination in education and a curriculum relevant to the lives of people of color. Women leaders like LaNada War Jack, Clementina Duron, Estella Quintanilla, and others played crucial roles in organizing and sustaining the movement.
• Continuing Influence: The TWLF laid the foundation for ethnic studies departments across the U.S. and significantly increased minority enrollment at UC Berkeley. Women played a crucial role in this movement, ensuring that the fight for ethnic studies was inclusive of their experiences. Today, the influence of these women continues as Ethnic Studies programs have expanded to encompass African American Studies, Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies, Chicano/a and Latino Studies, and Native American Studies. This expansion reflects an ongoing commitment to decolonizing academia, addressing issues of race, gender, and social justice, and highlighting the voices of women of color in these critical discussions.

Now that you’ve read about what Technical Writing is, it’s time to put those concepts to use by exploring and analyzing an increasingly common form of technical writing: Infographics. 
Infographics are visual representations of data, knowledge, or processes designed to make information easily understandable.  
Conduct a Google Image search for infographics related in some way to nursing or healthcare.  
Tip: Search the term “infographic” along with a literally any healthcare or nursing-related term you’re interested in. For example, try “infographic NCLEX,” “nursing infographic ER,” or “nursing infographic pain management.” 
Choose one infographic and analyze it against the characteristics for good technical writing in this week’s reading. Write up your analysis into a document and submit it via this page to complete the assignment.  
For easy reference, here again are the 6 characteristics from the reading:  
Focus on audience 
Rhetorical, persuasive, purposeful, and problem-oriented   
Professional   
Design Centered   
Research and Technology Oriented   
Ethical   
Your analysis should assess how well the infographic you’ve chosen achieves the characteristics above. If it falls short in any of these categories, explain why.  
Your document should:  
Include an image of the infographic you chose, along with a full APA reference. Here’s a page that tells you how to create a reference for an infographicLinks to an external site..  
Be 12pt, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, double spaced.   
Be 3-4 paragraphs long (with a minimum of 3 sentences per paragraph).
