Perspectives on Writing Series
Copublished with the WAC Clearinghouse
University Press of Colorado along with the WAC Clearinghouse is proud to announce the print publication ofSystems Shift: Creating and Navigating Change in Rhetoric and Composition Administration, edited by Genesea M. Carter and Aurora Matzke.
This collection extends the discourse on systems within the field of rhetoric and composition by drawing connections among the administrative work we do, the values we hold, and the systems that shape our work and our selves. The contributors to this collection consider how rhetoric and composition administrators’ change-making efforts address, among other activities, equitable labor and working conditions, student and/or faculty retention, curriculum development and redesign, program assessment, professional development support, and mental and/or physical well-being. They explore how these efforts are embodied acts that interact with and participate in systems and networks that often remain unacknowledged even as those within these systems and networks actively work against that oppression. Recognizing that systems and networks can at times supersede administrator, faculty, and student consensus for change, each chapter includes recommendations for addressing the complexities involved in working toward a more just workplace and profession.
This book is also available as an open access ebook through the WAC Clearinghouse.
