Hi Folks,
I’m pleased to share the news that a new open-access book is available through the WAC Clearinghouse (https://wacclearinghouse.org). The book appears in the book series, Practices & Possibilities, which I co-edit with Aimee McClure, Aleashia Walton, and Jagadish Paudel.
Storied Practices: Positionality in Writing Studies
Edited by Kristine Acosta, Michelle Cowan, Rebecca Rickly, Nancy Small, and Erica M. Stone
The contributors to Storied Practices: Positionality in Writing Studies explore how the various identities and lived experiences of scholars shape their professional personas, research methodologies, and teaching practices. The chapters in this edited collection employ reflexivity and storytelling in ways that can help emerging and experienced scholar-teachers rethink their conception of academic work. The result is a book that serves as an intersection point from which more scholarship about positionality can grow.
You can find the book at https://wacclearinghouse.org/books/practice/storied/. 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 Kristine, Michelle, Becky, Nancy, and Erica for their work on the book and for their 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
