In ""Deliberate Conflict: Argument, Political Theory, and
Composition Classes"", Patricia Roberts-Miller argues that much
current discourse about argument pedagogy is hampered by
fundamental unspoken disagreements over what democratic public
discourse should look like. The book's pivotal question is, In what
kind of public discourse do we want our students to engage? To
answer this, the text provides a taxonomy, discussion, and
evaluation of political theories that underpin democratic
discourse, high-lighting the relationship between various models of
the public sphere and rhetorical theory. ""Deliberate Conflict""
cogently advocates reintegrating instruction in argumentation with
the composition curriculum. By linking effective argumentation in
the public sphere with the ability to effect social change,
Roberts-Miller pushes compositionists beyond a simplistic
Aristotelian conception of how argumentation works and offers a
means by which to prepare students for active participation in
public discourse.
