Tweet for “Seeking New Worlds: The Study of Writing beyond Our Classrooms” by Bronwyn T. Williams: “Networks & conversations rooted in FYC need to extend beyond classroom and discipline to achieve responsibility, depth, breadth & inspiration.”
Hesse argues: “[C]omposition studies should pay more attention to craft and to composing texts not created in response to rhetorical situations or for scholars...ignoring different kinds of writing for wider audiences and purposes is marginalizing, especially when digital tools and networks expand the production and circulation of texts” (31, 35).
Frailberg, multimodal texts & multilingual literacies. Composition needs to acknowledge that these modes/literacies exist in academic/non-academic spaces.
Bronwyn T. Williams thinks writing should only be studied in the classroom to preserve the academic elite qualities of the field. #notintendedtobeafactualstatement

ReplyDeletere Hesse-I think fiction is increasingly "writing with content." Check out the journals and magazines-FACTS! Art as instruction! Seems odd.
ReplyDeleteDolomb says composition as a field must focus on research & teaching & not be a service/practice/skill or it will become McDs.
