In Class Not Dismissed, award-winning profes-sor Anthony Aveni tells the personal story of his six decades in college classrooms and some of the 10,000 students who have filled them. Through anecdotes of his own triumphs and tribulations—some amusing, others heartrending—Aveni reveals his teaching story and thoughts on the future of higher education.

Although in recent years the lecture has come under fire as a pedagogical method, Aveni ardently defends lecturing to students. He shares his secrets on crafting an engaging lecture and creating pro-ductive diologue in class discussions. He lays out his rules on classroom discipline and tells how he promotes the lost art of listening. He is a passion-ate proponent of the liberal arts and core course requirements as well as a believer in sound teaching promoted by active scholarship.

Aveni is known to his students as a consum-mate storyteller. In Class Not Dismissed he shares real stories about everyday college life that shed light on serious educational issues. The result is a humorous, reflective, inviting, and powerful inquiry into higher education that will be of interest to anyone invested in the current and future state of college and university education.

2012 Montana Book Award.

The American mountain goat is one of the most elusive and least familiar species of hoofed mam-mals in North America. Confined to the remote and rugged mountains of the western United States and Canada, these extraordinary mountaineers are seldom seen or encountered, even by those who patiently study them. Life on the Rocks offers an inti-mate portrayal of this remarkable animal through the eyes and lens of field biologist and photogra-pher Bruce Smith.

Color photographs and accounts of Smith's personal experiences living in Montana's Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area accompany descriptions of the American mountain goat's natural history. Smith explores their treacherous habitat, which spans the perilous cliffs and crags of the Rocky, Cascade, and Coast mountain ranges. The physical and behavioral adaptations of these alpine athletes enable them to survive a host of dangers, includ-ing six-month-long winters, scarce food sources, thunderous avalanches, social strife, and predators like wolves, bears, lions, wolverines, and eagles. Smith also details the challenges these animals face as their territory is threatened by expanding motor-ized access, industrial activities, and a warming climate.

Life on the Rocks showcases the elegance and charm of this little-known creature, thriving in some of North America's harshest wilderness. Smith's volume will appeal to wildlife enthusiasts, wildland travelers, and conservationists interested in the future of the American mountain goat.

“Life on the Rocks expertly weaves together the ecology and magic of North America's most unique mountain dweller. With prose as vivid and inspiring as the dramatic photos of mountain goats in their stark, tilted world, Bruce Smith shares his love and knowledge of an animal few will ever see in the wild.”

Wyoming Revisited

Michael A. Amundson is professor of history at Northern Arizona University, the author of Yellowcake Towns and Passage to Wonderland, and the co-editor of Atomic Culture.

un I v e r S I t y pr e S S o F co l o r a d oHI S to ry

In Wyoming Revisited, Michael A. Amundson uses the power of rephotography to show how land-scapes across the state have endured over the last century. Three sets of photographs—the origi-nal black-and-white photographs taken by famed Wyoming photographer Joseph E. Stimson more than a century ago, repeat black-and-white images taken by Amundson in the 1980s, and a third view taken by the author in 2007–2008—are accompanied by captions explaining the history and importance of each site as well as information on the process of repeat photographic fieldwork.

The 117 locations feature street views of Wyoming towns and cities, as well as views from the state's famous natural landmarks like Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Devil's Tower National Monument, Hot Springs State Park, and Big Horn and Shoshone National Forests. In addition, Amundson provides six in-depth essays that explore the life of Joseph E. Stimson, the rephotographic process and how it has evolved, and how repeat photography can be used to understand history, landscape, historic preserva-tion, and globalization.

Wyoming Revisited highlights the historic evo-lution of the American West over the past cen-tury and showcases the significant changes that have occurred over the past twenty-five years. This book will appeal to photographers, histori-ans of the American West, and anyone interested in Wyoming's history or landscape.

Selected from the country's leading literary jour-nals and publications—Crazyhorse, Colorado Review, The Nervous Breakdown, Creative Nonfiction, Georgia Review, Gulf Coast, The Missouri Review, The Normal School, and others—Man in the Moon brings together essays in which sons, daughters, and fathers explore the elusive nature of this intimate relation-ship and find unique ways to frame and under-stand it: through astronomy, arachnology, storytell-ing, map-reading, television, puzzles, DNA, and so on. In the collection's title essay, Bill Capossere considers the inextricable link between his love of astronomy and memories of his father: “The man in the moon is no stranger to me,” he writes. “I have seen his face before, and it is my father's, and his father's, and my own.” Other essays include Dinty Moore's “Son of Mr. Green Jeans: A Meditation on Missing Fathers,” in which Moore lays out an alphabetic investigation of fathers from popu-lar culture—Ward Cleaver, Jim Anderson, Ozzie Nelson—while ruminating on his own absent father and hesitation to become a father himself. In “Plot Variations,” Robin Black attempts to understand, through the lens of teaching fiction to creative writ-ing students, her inability to attend her father's funeral. Deborah Thompson tries to reconcile her pride in her father's pioneering research in plastics and her concerns about their toxic environmental consequences in “When the Future Was Plastic.” At turns painfully familiar, comic, and heartbreaking, the essays in this collection also deliver moments of searing beauty and hard-earned wisdom.

Intimacy is a series of experimental poems that play with, resist, and acknowledge complicity with received concepts of intimacy that circulate in this media-centric age. Undertaking an expansive understanding of the word “intimacy,” each poem contains a word or set of words that modifies the noun, uncovering the attending, associative, and often contradictory obligations that arise in our relations with one another.

Clouds, mountains, flowering trees. Difficult things. Things lost by being photographed. Things that have lost their power. Things found in a rural grocery store. These are some of the lists, poems, prose poems, and lyric anecdotes compiled in The Logan Notebooks, a remix and a reimagining of The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, a collection of intimate and imaginative observations about place—a real place, an interior landscape—and identity, at the intersection of the human with the world, and the language we have (and do not yet have) for per-ceiving it.

“This broad-ranging collection makes a significant and welcome contribution to the study and teaching of folklore; it also has an interdisciplinary reach into masculinity studies, queer theory, transgender stud-ies, and cultural studies; and it succeeds in troubling certain assumptions in the discipline of folklore/ethnology as well as in gender studies and cultural studies.”

Unsettling Assumptions

In Unsettling Assumptions, editors Pauline Greenhill and Diane Tye link gender studies with traditional and popular culture studies to examine how tradi-tion and gender can intersect to unsettle assump-tions about culture and its study.

Contributors explore the intersections of tradi-tional expressive culture and sex/gender systems by challenging their conventional constructions, using sex/gender as a lens to question, investigate, or upset concepts like family, ethics, and authentic-ity. Individual essays consider myriad topics such as Thanksgiving turkeys, rockabilly and bar fights, Chinese tales of female ghosts, selkie stories, a noisy Mennonite New Year's celebration, the Distaff Gospels, Kentucky tobacco farmers, international adoptions, and more.

In Unsettling Assumptions, expressive cul-ture emerges as fundamental both to our sense of belonging to a family, an occupation, or friendship group and, most notably, to identity performativity. Within larger contexts, these works offer a better understanding of cultural attitudes like misogyny, homophobia, and racism as well as the construction and negotiation of power.

Oral Patterns of Performance

Fo l k l o r e

To many Native American cultures, songs and sto-ries are dramatic enactments of reality, and words bring reality into existence. In this chapter from his award-winning book, The Anguish of Snails, Toelken thoughtfully approaches a number of stories from Native American traditions, discussing how nar-ratives can be touchstones of shared values among closely associated traditional people and how songs and stories go far beyond an evening's entertain-ment or “lessons” about life. A traditional narrative can be a culturally structured way of thinking and of experiencing the patterns that make culture real.

Toward a Conceptual Framework for the

Study of Folklore and the Internet

Trevor Blank broke new ground for the field of folklore studies in this essay by rationalizing the study of the Internet as an important area of expres-sive vernacular culture. He argues that “from the earliest moments of the modern Internet’s exis-tence, folklore was a central component of the domain, moderating the intersection of computer professionals with hackers, newfangled lingo, and the dispersal of stories, pranks, and legends.” With this treatise and the volume it introduces, Folklore and the Internet, Blank theorizes the Internet as an important analytic venue for folklorists and sets the agenda for digital folklore research.

Black Hills Forestry

HI S to ry

The first study focused on the history of the Black Hills National Forest, its centrality to life in the region, and its preeminence within the National Forest System, Black Hills Forestry is a cultural his-tory of the most commercialized national forest in the nation.

One of the first forests actively managed by the federal government and the site of the first sale of federally owned timber to a private party, the Black Hills National Forest has served as a manage-ment model for all national forests. Its many uses, activities, and issues—recreation, timber, mining, grazing, tourism, Native American cultural usage, and the intermingling of public and private lands—expose the ongoing tensions between private land-owners and public land managers. Freeman shows how forest management in the Black Hills encap-sulates the Forest Service's failures to keep up with changes in the public's view of forest values until compelled to do so by federal legislation and the courts. In addition, he explores how more recent events in the region like catastrophic wildfires and mountain pine beetle epidemics have provided forest managers with the chance to realign their efforts to create and maintain a biologically diverse forest that can better resist natural and human disturbances.

This study of the Black Hills offers an excel-lent prism through which to view the history of the US Forest Service's land management policies. Foresters, land managers, and regional historians will find Black Hills Forestry a valuable resource.

The Divided Dominion

In The Divided Dominion, Ethan A. Schmidt examines the social struggle that created Bacon's Rebellion, focusing on the role of class antago-nism in fostering violence toward native people in seventeenth-century Virginia. This provocative volume places a dispute among Virginians over the permissibility of eradicating Native Americans for land at the forefront in understanding this piv-otal event.

Myriad internal and external factors drove Virginians to interpret their disputes with one another increasingly along class lines. The decades-long tripartite struggle among elite whites, non-elite whites, and Native Americans resulted in the development of mutually beneficial economic and political relationships between elites and Native Americans. When these relationships culminated in the granting of rights—equal to those of non-elite white colonists—to Native Americans, the elites crossed a line and non-elite anger boiled over. A call for the annihilation of all Indians in Virginia united different non-elite white factions and molded them in widespread social rebellion.

The Divided Dominion places Indian policy at the heart of Bacon's Rebellion, revealing the com-plex mix of social, cultural, and racial forces that collided in Virginia in 1676. This new analysis will interest students and scholars of colonial and Native American history.

Making an American Workforce

HI S to ry

Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the poli-cies of the early years of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, Making an American Workforce explores John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s welfare capitalist pro-grams and their effects on the company's diverse workforce.

Focusing on the workers themselves—men, women, and children representative of a variety of immigrant and ethnic groups—contributors trace the emergence of the Employee Representation Plan, the work of the company's Sociology Department, and CF&I's interactions with the YMCA in the early twentieth century. They examine CF&I's early commitment to Americanize its immi-grant employees and shape worker behavior, the development of policies that constructed the work-force it envisioned while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the strike that eventually led to the Ludlow Massacre, and the impact of the massacre on the employees, the company, and beyond.

Making an American Workforce provides greater insight into the repercussions of the Industrial Representation Plan and the Ludlow Massacre, revealing the long-term consequences of Colorado Fuel and Iron Company policies on the American worker, the state of Colorado, and the creation of corporate culture. Making an American Workforce will be of interest to Western, labor, and business historians.

Marta Effinger-Crichlow is chair and associate professor in the African

American Studies Department at New York City College of

Technology–CUNY.


“Staging Migrations toward an American West fills a void in the scholarship of African American his-tory, American history in general, women's history, feminist criticism, and performance theory. While most migration scholarship in these fields has focused on the ‛Great Migration' of Black Americans moving from rural, Jim Crow south to northern industrial cities such as New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, Effinger-Crichlow illuminates a westward migration that has been comparatively ignored.”

Staging Migrations toward an

American West

Staging Migrations toward an American West exam-ines how black women's theatrical and everyday performances of migration toward the American West expose the complexities of their struggles for sociopolitical emancipation. While migration is often viewed as merely a physical process, Effinger-Crichlow expands the concept to include a series of symbolic internal journeys within confined and unconfined spaces.

Four case studies consider how the featured women—activist Ida B. Wells, singer Sissieretta “Black Patti” Jones, World War II black female defense-industry workers, and performance artist Rhodessa Jones—imagined and experienced the American West geographically and symbolically at different historical moments. Dissecting the varied ways they used migration to survive in the world from the viewpoint of theater and performance the-ory, Effinger-Crichlow reconceptualizes the migra-tion histories of black women in nineteenth- and twentieth-century America.

This interdisciplinary study expands the understanding of the African American struggle for unconstrained movement and full citizenship in the United States and will interest students and scholars of American and African American history, women and gender studies, theater, and perfor-mance theory.

Dean E. Arnold is adjunct curator of anthropology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and pro-fessor emeritus of anthropology at Wheaton College in Illinois. He has taught anthropology for forty-three years; done field work in Peru, Mexico, Bolivia, Guatemala, and the Southwest; and published three books, includ-ing the highly regarded, seminal work Ceramic Theory and Cultural Process and more than sixty articles about potters, pottery, and pottery production and related subjects.


The Evolution of Production Organization in a Maya Community

an t H r o p o l o g y

In The Evolution of Production Organization in a Maya Community, Dean E. Arnold continues his unique approach to ceramic ethnoarchaeology, tracing the history of potters in Ticul, Yucatán, and their production space over a period of more than four decades. This follow-up to his 2008 work Social Change and the Evolution of Ceramic Production and Distribution uses narrative to trace the changes in production personnel and their spatial organiza-tion through the changes in production organiza-tion in Ticul.

Although several kinds of production units developed, households were the most persistent units of production in spite of massive social change and the reorientation of pottery production to the tourist market. Entrepreneurial workshops, gov-ernment-sponsored workshops, and workshops attached to tourist hotels developed more recently but were short-lived, whereas pottery-making households extended deep into the nineteenth cen-tury. Through this continuity and change, intermit-tent crafting, multi-crafting, and potters' increased management of economic risk also factored into the development of the production organization in Ticul.

Illustrated with more than 100 images of production units, The Evolution of Production Organization in a Maya Community is an important contribution to the understanding of ceramic pro-duction. Scholars with interests in craft specializa-tion, craft production, and demography, as well as specialists in Mesoamerican archaeology, anthro-pology, history, and economy, will find this volume especially useful.

Dean E. Arnold

“Arnold has now prepared a compelling companion to his 2008 volume, making a quartet of salient publica-tions about pottery and pottery-producing communi-ties. In his new work he blends meticulous diachronic field research with keen insight and documents a substantive theoretical foundation. He draws together the results of many of his previous works, reevaluates and expands upon them, and offers fresh, new cogent analyses and explanations of the dramatic changes that have taken place in the pottery-making commu-nity through more than four decades.”

“This volume is timely and will be a valued addition to the libraries of professional archaeobotanists, students learning the intricacies of archaeobotanical analyses, and archaeologists who want an up-to-date reference of the methods and applications of archaeobotany.”

Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany

Paleoethnobotany, the study of archaeologi-cal plant remains, is poised at the intersection of the study of the past and concerns of the present, including agricultural decision making, biodiver-sity, and global environmental change, and has much to offer to archaeology, anthropology, and the interdisciplinary study of human relation-ships with the natural world. Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany demonstrates those connections and highlights the increasing relevance of the study of past human-plant interactions for understanding the present and future.

A diverse and highly regarded group of scholars reference a broad array of literature from around the world as they cover their areas of exper-tise in the practice and theory of paleoethnobot-any—starch grain analysis, stable isotope analysis, ancient DNA, digital data management, and eco-logical and postprocessual theory.

The only comprehensive edited volume focusing on method and theory to appear in the last twenty-five years, Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany addresses the new areas of inquiry that have become central to contemporary archae-ological debates, as well as the current state of theoretical, methodological, and empirical work in paleoethnobotany.

The Archaeology of Wak’as


In this edited volume, Andean wak'as—idols, stat-ues, sacred places, images, and oratories—play a central role in understanding Andean social phi-losophies, cosmologies, materialities, temporali-ties, and constructions of personhood. Top Andean scholars from a variety of disciplines cross regional, theoretical, and material boundaries in their chap-ters, offering innovative methods and theoretical frameworks for interpreting the cultural particulars of Andean ontologies and notions of the sacred.

Wak'as were understood as agentive, nonhu-man persons within many Andean communities and were fundamental to conceptions of place, alimentation, fertility, identity, and memory and the political construction of ecology and life cycles. The ethnohistoric record indicates that wak'as were thought to speak, hear, and communicate, both among themselves and with humans. In their capacity as nonhuman persons, they shared famil-ial relations with members of the community; for instance, young women were wed to local wak'as made of stone and wak'as had sons and daughters who were identified as the mummified remains of the community's revered ancestors.

Integrating linguistic, ethnohistoric, ethno-graphic, and archaeological data, The Archaeology of Wak'as advances our understanding of the nature and culture of wak'as and contributes to the larger theoretical discussions on the meaning and role of “the sacred” in ancient contexts.

Explorations of the Sacred in the Pre-Columbian Andes

Edited by Tamara L. Bray

“A milestone publication in the field of archaeology.”

Kukulkan’s Realm

Kukulkan's Realm chronicles the fabric of socio-economic relationships and religious practice that bound the Postclassic Maya city of Mayapán's urban residents together for nearly three centu-ries. Presenting results of ten years of household archaeology at the city, including field research and laboratory analysis, the book discusses the social, political, economic, and ideological makeup of this complex urban center.

Masson and Peraza Lope's detailed overview provides evidence of a vibrant market economy that played a critical role in the city's political and economic success. They offer new perspec-tives from the homes of governing elites, second-ary administrators, affluent artisans, and poorer members of the service industries. Household occupational specialists depended on regional trade for basic provisions that were essential to crafting industries, sustenance, and quality of life. Settlement patterns reveal intricate relationships of households with neighbors, garden plots, culti-vable fields, thoroughfares, and resources. Urban planning endeavored to unite the cityscape and to integrate a pluralistic populace that derived from hometowns across the Yucatán peninsula.

New data from Mayapán, the pinnacle of Postclassic Maya society, contribute to a paradigm change regarding the evolution and organization of Maya society in general and make Kukulkan's Realm a must-read for students and scholars of the ancient Maya and Mesoamerica.

Obsidian Reflections


Departing from the political economy perspec-tive taken by the vast majority of volumes devoted to Mesoamerican obsidian, Obsidian Reflections is an examination of obsidian's sociocultural dimen-sions—particularly in regard to Mesoamerican world view, religion, and belief systems.

Exploring the materiality of this volcanic glass rather than only its functionality, this book considers the interplay among people, obsidian, and meaning and how these relationships shaped patterns of procurement, exchange, and use. An international group of scholars hailing from Belize, France, Japan, Mexico, and the United States provides a variety of case studies from Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. The authors draw on archaeological, iconographic, ethno-graphic, and ethnohistoric data to examine obsid-ian as a touchstone for cultural meaning, including references to sacrificial precepts, powerful deities, landscape, warfare, social relations, and fertility.

Obsidian Reflections underscores the necessity of understanding obsidian from within its cultural context—the perspective of the indigenous peo-ple of Mesoamerica. It will be of great interest to Mesoamericanists as well as students and scholars of lithic studies and material culture.

Symbolic Dimensions of Obsidian in Ancient MesoamericaEdited by Marc N. Levine and David M. Carballo

“We need more publications like this if we are to move forward in our understanding of the Mesoamerican past, its layering of landscapes, and the variable and ever-changing nature of its material culture. The of-ten unsuspected worlds that such an approach reveals are an advance not only for Mesoamerican studies but for archaeology in general.”

“Generation Vet . . . fills an important need that no other book is addressing . . . Composition teachers, WPAs, and writing center directors should desire to read this book in order to consider how their cam-puses and classrooms should meet the needs of these students.”

Generation Vet

Institutions of higher education are experiencing the largest influx of enrolled veterans since World War II, and these student veterans are transforming post-secondary classroom dynamics. While many campus divisions like admissions and student services are actively moving to accommodate the rise in this demographic, little research about this population and their educational needs is avail-able, and academic departments have been slower to adjust. In Generation Vet, fifteen chapters offer well-researched, pedagogically savvy recommen-dations for curricular and programmatic responses to student veterans for English and writing studies departments.

In work with veterans in writing-intensive courses and community contexts, questions of citi-zenship, disability, activism, community-campus relationships, and retention come to the fore. Moreover, writing-intensive courses can be sites of significant cultural exchanges—even clashes—as veterans bring military values, rhetorical traditions, and communication styles that may challenge the values, beliefs, and assumptions of traditional col-lege students and faculty.

This classroom-oriented text addresses a wide range of issues concerning veterans, pedagogy, rhetoric, and writing program administration. Written by diverse scholar-teachers and written in diverse genres, the essays in this collection promise to enhance our understanding of student veterans, composition pedagogy and administration, and the post-9/11 university.

Assignments across the Curriculum


In Assignments across the Curriculum, Dan Melzer analyzes the rhetorical features and genres of writ-ing assignments through the writing-to-learn and writing-in-the-disciplines perspectives. Presenting the results of his study of 2,101 writing assignments from undergraduate courses in the natural sci-ences, social sciences, business, and humanities in 100 postsecondary institutions in the United States, Assignments across the Curriculum is unique in its cross-institutional breadth and its focus on writing assignments.

The results provide a panoramic view of col-lege writing in the United States. Melzer's frame-work begins with the rhetorical situations of the assignments—the purposes and audiences—and broadens to include the assignments' genres and discourse community contexts. Among his conclu-sions is that courses connected to a writing-across-the-curriculum (WAC) initiative ask students to write more often, in a greater variety of genres, and for a greater variety of purposes and audiences than non-WAC courses do, making a compelling case for the influence of the WAC movement.

Melzer's work also reveals patterns in the rhe-torical situations, genres, and discourse communi-ties of college writing in the United States. These larger patterns are of interest to WAC practitioners working with faculty across disciplines, to writ-ing center coordinators and tutors working with students who bring assignments from a variety of fields, to composition program administrators, to first-year writing instructors interested in prepar-ing students for college writing, and to high school teachers attempting to bridge the gap between high school and college writing.

C. H. Knoblauch is professor of English at the University of North Carolina–Charlotte. His work on the writing pro-cess, critical pedagogy, and the Western rhetorical tradition has been influential in the field of rhetoric and composition for decades.


Discursive Ideologies

In Discursive Ideologies, C. H. Knoblauch argues that European rhetorical theory comprises several distinct and fundamentally opposed traditions of discourse. Writing accessibly for the upper divi-sion student, Knoblauch resists the conventional narrative of a unified Western rhetorical tradition. He identifies deep ideological and epistemologi-cal differences that exist among strands of Western thought and that are based in divergent “grounds of meaningfulness.” These conflicts underlie and influence current discourse about vital public issues.

Knoblauch considers six “stories” about the meaning of meaning in an attempt to answer the question, what encourages us to believe that lan-guage acts are meaningful? Six distinctive ideolo-gies of Western rhetoric emerge: magical rhetoric, ontological rhetoric, objectivist rhetoric, expressiv-ist rhetoric, sociological rhetoric, and deconstruc-tive rhetoric. He explores the nature of language and the important role these rhetorics play in the discourses that matter most to people, such as reli-gion, education, public policy, science, law, and history.

Patrick Sullivan is professor of liberal arts at Manchester Community College.


A New Writing Classroom


In A New Writing Classroom, Patrick Sullivan pro-vides a new generation of teachers a means and a rationale to reconceive their approach to teaching writing, calling into question the discipline's depen-dence on argument.

Including secondary writing teachers within his purview, Sullivan advocates a more diverse, exploratory, and flexible approach to writing activi-ties in grades six through thirteen. A New Writing Classroom encourages teachers to pay more atten-tion to research in learning theory, transfer of learn-ing, international models for nurturing excellence in the classroom, and recent work in listening to teach students the sort of dialogic stance that leads to higher-order thinking and more sophisticated communication.

The conventional argumentative essay is often a simplistic form of argument, widely believed to be the most appropriate type of writing in English classes, but other kinds of writing may be more valuable to students and offer more important kinds of cognitive challenges. Focusing on listen-ing and dispositions or “habits of mind” as central elements of this new composition pedagogy, A New Writing Classroom draws not just on composition studies but also on cognitive psychology, philoso-phy, learning theory, literature, and history, making an exciting and significant contribution to the field.

David S. Martins is associate professor and writing program administrator at the Rochester Institute of Technology.


“[For me] as a department chair and former program administrator, the book captures both worries and goals I had in making my own university's programs more global . . . the book nicely captures the ‛wake up' spirit of our need to change composition to better meet the needs of our students, both in the United States and abroad.”

Transnational Writing Program Administration

While local conditions remain at the forefront of writing program administration, transnational activities are slowly and thoroughly shifting the questions we ask about writing curricula, the space and place in which writing happens, and the cultural and linguistic issues at the heart of the relationships forged in literacy work. Transnational Writing Program Administration challenges taken-for-granted assumptions regarding program iden-tity, curriculum and pedagogical effectiveness, logistics and quality assurance, faculty and stu-dent demographics, innovative partnerships and research, and the infrastructure needed to support writing instruction in higher education.

Well-known scholars and new voices in the field extend the theoretical underpinnings of writ-ing program administration to consider programs, activities, and institutions involving students and faculty from two or more countries work-ing together and highlight the situated practices of such efforts. The collection brings translingual graduate students at the forefront of writing studies together with established administrators, teachers, and researchers and intends to enrich the efforts of WPAs by examining the practices and theories that impact our ability to conceive of writing program administration as transnational.

This collection will enable writing program administrators to take the emerging locations of writing instruction seriously, to address the role of language difference in writing, and to engage critically with the key notions and approaches to writing program administration that reveal its transnationality.

Writing across Contexts


Addressing how composers transfer both knowl-edge about and practices of writing, Writing across Contexts explores the grounding theory behind a specific composition curriculum called Teaching for Transfer (TFT) and analyzes the efficacy of the approach. Finding that TFT courses aid students in transfer in ways that other kinds of composi-tion courses do not, the authors demonstrate that the content of this curriculum, including its reflec-tive practice, provides a unique set of resources for students to call on and repurpose for new writing tasks.

The authors provide a brief historical review, give attention to current curricular efforts designed to promote such transfer, and develop new insights into the role of prior knowledge in students' ability to transfer writing knowledge and practice, present-ing three models of how students respond to and use new knowledge—assemblage, remix, and criti-cal incident.

A timely and significant contribution to the field, Writing across Contexts will be of interest to graduate students, composition scholars, WAC and writing-in-the-disciplines scholars, and writing pro-gram administrators.

Ian Barnard is associate professor of rhetoric and composition at Chapman University. He previously taught for ten years at California State University, Northridge, where he served as chair of the University Writing Council and coordinator of Stretch Composition in the Department of English. Barnard is the author of Queer Race: Cultural Interventions in the Racial Politics of Queer Theory.


“A highly readable, energetically polemical, and theo-retically informed contribution to the field of composi-tion studies.”

Upsetting Composition Commonplaces

In Upsetting Composition Commonplaces, Ian Barnard argues that composition still retains the bulk of instructional practices that were used in the decades before poststructuralist theory discredited them. While acknowledging that some of the foundational insights of poststructuralist theory can be difficult to translate to the classroom, Barnard upends sev-eral especially intransigent tenets that continue to influence the teaching of writing and how students are encouraged to understand writing.

Using six major principles of writing class-rooms and textbooks—clarity, intent, voice, ethnog-raphy, audience, and objectivity—Barnard looks at the implications of poststructuralist theory for ped-agogy. While suggesting some evocative poststruc-turalist pedagogical practices, the author focuses on diagnosing the fault lines of composition's refusal of poststructuralism rather than on providing “solutions” in the form of teaching templates.

Upsetting Composition Commonplaces addresses the need to more effectively engage in poststructur-alist concepts in composition in an accessible and engaging voice that will advance the conversation about relations between the theory and teaching of writing.

"There can be no healing, no closure. Still, if your traumatic experiences don't destroy you they can produce masterful works, in which human nature rises to its heights . . . The effect is powerful, and as a result of the author's disciplining her wildest emo-tions, we weep for her.”

M. B. McLatchey

Foreword byEdward Field

M. B. McLatchey holds degrees in com-parative literature and languages, in teaching, and in English literature from Harvard University, Brown University, and Williams College, as well as the MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College. A widely published poet and scholar with an extensive back-ground in literature, philosophy, and ancient and modern languages, she has received numerous awards. Her most recent poetry awards include the American Poet Prize from The American Poetry Journal, the Annie Finch Prize for Poetry, the Spoon River Poetry Review's Editors' Prize, the Penelope Niven Creative Nonfiction Award, and the Vachel Lindsay Poetry Award. She is currently a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.

—From the foreword by edward FIeld, American poet and essayist and contest judge

“This book is crushing and brilliantly written. If ever there were a time for McLatchey’s deeply moving and compassionate poems, it is now with the crazed, un-checked violence against our children. There are no ele-gies here, only a powerful intellect at work and a truly gifted poet’s heartbreaking songs to our lost children.”

—pHIlIp brady, author of Fathom and co-founder of Etruscan Press

—jeFFrey greene, author of Beautiful Monsters

“In magisterial cadences, this powerful poetic sequence gives voice to the unspeakable and transposes pro-found grief into immortal song. McLatchey’s poems are talismans and spells—not against loss but against forgetting.”
