Features
New to This Edition
"I welcome this valuable and timely resource for scholars and teachers in the field of rhetoric and writing who want to more fully understand the issues surrounding service-learning, civic engagement, and public/community-based writing. This volume outlines essential foundational knowledge and presents stories from a wide range of classrooms/community partnerships. In the end, this text will enable teachers to offer students additional opportunities to reflect on and engage in their communities."— James Dubinsky, Virginia Tech"Writing and Community Engagement captures the energy and scholarly inquiry which is reshaping the work of composition/rhetoric. More than just a collection of established articles, this book provides a road map for those attempting to navigate their professional careers with a sense of social responsibility and justice."
— Steve Parks, Syracuse University
