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.
