This unit explores the construction of gender in various genres, and the way genres can be gendered. We will explore female and male voices in different textual modes, examining topics such as: themes and centres of interest associated with particular textual types and modes; character, voicing, and style in different genres; writing the male and female selves; the way friendship, security, and love are imagined, written, and read in different genres; and fiction and non-fiction as gendered modes. -- Course Website
