Writing from the Margins: Power and Pedagogy for Teachers of CompositionToo often both composition teachers and their students experience knowledge and authority as lying outside their rhetorical interactions with others. Drawing on feminist, cultural, and poststructuralist theory, as well as work in the rhetorical tradition and composition studies, Hill offers less debilitating methods of thinking that teachers can model for their students. Richly illustrated with examples of classroom interactions and student work, the book also shows teachers how to enrich their own intellectual and political lives within the academy. |
