Two R&W Program Faculty Start Work on Book
Lance Massey and Rick Gebhardt have begun work on an essay collection in anticipation of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Steven North’s The Making of Knowledge in Composition. The project focuses on one of composition’s monumental works in order to assess the discipline of composition and to imagine its future. The call for essay proposals that will appear in a number of journals this winter invites retrospective accounts (rhetorical and critical analyses, reception histories, reflective narratives, and other scholarly treatments) of North’s unreservedly sweeping, undoubtedly important, and undeniably controversial book. Rather than being merely retrospective, this collection seeks works that critically re-assess such things as the influence/impact, rhetoric, aims, and values of The Making of Knowledge in Composition--with an eye toward using such re-assessments to comment on the present and future of composition studies.
