Using the concept of "plasticity," or the brain’s ability to
change through growth and reorganization, as a theoretical
framework, this book argues that encouraging an exploration of the
self better establishes emotional value in the composition
classroom. This book explores recent evidence from studies in
modern neuroscience to provide biological correlations between
current and developing theory and pedagogy in Composition Studies.
Starting with the concept of self, each subsequent chapter builds a
neurobiological understanding of how emotional value, intrinsic
motivation, creativity, and happiness are constructed and felt.
This material exploration shows how these factors can maintain
motivation, improve long-term memory, encourage creative risk, and
initiate complex considerations of being. Recognizing the shift in
Composition Studies to posthuman and new materialist methodologies,
this modern neuroscience is presented as a useful parallel
to—rather than being at odds with—these and other current
methodologies, theories, and pedagogies. Outlining the need for a
more student-focused, guided-discovery framework for the
composition classroom, this interdisciplinary resource will be of
interest to scholars and students in the field of Composition
Studies, Communication Studies, Education, Psychology, and
Philosophy.
There are always at least two viewpoints to every story and yet, we
usually only hear one. A different perspective can provide an
entirely different story than the commonly known tale; the other
side of the looking glass, so to speak. This year, our anthology
series continues with volume 4: At Second Glance, an anthology
dedicated to exploring those alternate angles. Inside you'll find
exciting new tales by established authors such as Felice Picano, as
well as stories from emerging writers like Ann Herendeen, Evan J.
Peterson, Casondra Brewster and Louis Flint Ceci. Readers will even
find a piece from our volume editor, Eric Andrews-Katz. From comic
art to playscript, from mythology to modern fantasy; all the pieces
take the reader forward by glancing back.
