Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University

Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University

This timely intervention into composition studies presents a case for the need to teach all students a shared system of communication and logic based on the modern globalizing ideals of universality neutrality and empiricism. Based on a series of close readings of contemporary writing by Stanley Fish Asao Inoue Doug Downs and Elizabeth Wardle Richard Rorty Slavoj Zizek and Steven Pinker this book critiques recent arguments that traditional approaches to teaching writing grammar and argumentation foster marginalization oppression and the restriction of student agency. Instead it argues that the best way to educate and empower a diverse global student body is to promote a mode of academic discourse dedicated to the impartial judgment of empirical facts communicated in an open and clear manner. It provides a critical analysis of core topics in composition studies including the teaching of grammar; notions of objectivity and neutrality; empiricism and pragmatism; identity politics; and postmodernism. Aimed at graduate students and junior instructors in rhetoric and composition as well as more seasoned scholars and program administrators this polemical book provides an accessible staging of key debates that all writing instructors must grapple with. | Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University
