"GENADMIN: THEORIZING WPA IDENTITIES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
makes an important contribution to writing studies in general by
showing how the identification of writing program administration as
scholarly and creative (not merely administrative) invites new ways
to think about and theorize composition's place in the field and in
institutional structures. GENADMIN also contributes to WPA
scholarship by opening a rich and textured discussion of a very
specific moment in which WPA work becomes a focus for graduate
studies in the field. . . . GENADMIN speaks with equal importance
to junior and senior WPAs, to the people who train graduate
students for WPA work, and to those who hire new WPAs." -Nancy C.
DeJoy, Michigan State University GENADMIN: THEORIZING WPA
IDENTITIES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY examines identity formation
in a generation of rhetoric and composition professionals who have
had explicit preparation in scholarly dimensions of writing program
work. GENADMIN disrupts histories and narratives that posit writing
program administration as managerial, where the most one can hope
for is to become a hero who successfully champions writing rather
than a victim of an untenable job. The authors draw on composition
and rhetorical theory, WPA experiences and scholarship, and
contemporary philosophy to offer writing program administration as
an epistemology and a discourse for change. GENADMIN repositions
WPAs as agents and reclaims writing program administration as a
positive professional commitment that looks toward, rather than
simply stems from, current challenges in higher education. An
Afterword by Jeanne Gunner, Joseph Harris, Dennis Lynch, and Martha
Townsend continues the important conversation, setting the stage
for future discussion of the issues raised in this groundbreaking
account of a new generation of writing program administrators.
