Críticas

"Local Knowledges, Local Practices offers a rare glimpse of a range of faculty reflecting on their practices as teachers (and learners)." - James Slevin, Georgetown University "Local Knowledges, Local Practices documents what happens when a writing program listens carefully to what faculty in the disciplines have to say about teaching writing in their fields and shows how teachers can help students both to take on the discourses of their disciplines and to push beyond them toward more public and critical uses of writing." - Joseph Harris, Duke University"

Reseña del editor

Cornell University has a long tradition of excellence in writing and is home to one of the oldest academic writing programs. At the core of Cornell's approach is the idea that writing well is a concern that is not limited to one department or field, but is best approached in a multidisciplinary way. Thus, writing is taught in areas as varied as neurobiology, political science, and Near Eastern studies, among others. In the chapters of ""Local Knowledges, Local Practices"", the faculty of this innovative program candidly share their visions, pedagogical techniques, and sometimes surprising insights. The voices collected in this volume encourage faculty and administrators from all disciplines and all institutions to reclaim responsibility for teaching the field-specific writing they want their students to learn and affirm the importance of good writing as integral to learning in all fields and at all levels of the curriculum.
