The “Reimagining Student Writers” series presented by the Writing Program in the  College of Arts and Sciences will continue this week with a guest lecture by the University of Notre Dame’s John Duffy.

John Duffy

The lecture, titled “Rhetorical Virtues: The Ethical Discourse of the Writing Classroom,” is scheduled for Wednesday, April 1, at 1 p.m. in room 304 AB in Schine Student Center. This event is free and open to the public. CART transcription for the hearing impaired will be provided.

The O’Malley Director of the University Writing Program and associate professor of English, Duffy will focus on the ethical dimensions surrounding all writing instruction. He will challenge instructors to consider how their work with students should move beyond a view of writing as instrumental in order to explore ways in which all language uses shapes and reflects value systems and engages people in the formation of social relationships.

Duffy regularly publishes scholarly articles on the ethics of writing, the rhetoric of disability and the historical development of literacy and rhetoric in cross-cultural contexts. In 2009, his book, “Writing from These Roots,” was awarded the 2009 Outstanding Book Award by the Conference on College Composition and Communication. He is a recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship and the Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C., Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. He earned a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and master’s degrees from University College in Dublin, Ireland, and from Columbia University.
