Hi Folks,
I’m pleased to share the news that a new book has been added to the WAC Clearinghouse (https://wac.colostate.edu). This book appears in the Perspectives on Writing book series, which is edited by Rich Rice and J. Michael Rifenburg.
Community Listening: Stories, Hauntings, Possibilities
Edited by Jenn Fishman, Romeo García, and Lauren Rosenberg
Generating more questions than it answers, Community Listening invites readers to learn about listening that is deeply enmeshed in specific community sites, stories, and relations. Contributors bring their lived experience as listeners in, to, and alongside the communities whose praxes they surface in chapters that enrich and complicate the deep interrelationship of listening and storytelling. Affirming that storytelling is the vessel through which community listening is made, unmade, and remade, the stories in this collection probe what it means to listen from community vantages and to bring such listening into academic conversations. Collectively, the contributors to this multidisciplinary collection advance scholarship that has community as the locus of iterative knowledge seeking and sharing.
You can find the book at https://wac.colostate.edu/books/perspectives/listening/. This book, like other books published by the Clearinghouse, will be available in a print edition from University Press of Colorado in the coming months. Thanks to Jenn, Romeo, Lauren, and the chapter authors for their work on the book and for the decision to share it with us as an open-access publication. Thanks as well to the anonymous peer reviewers who contributed to its development. All the best,
Mike
