Description

NEW PROGRAM DESIGN IN RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION In our day-to-day development, reform, and administration of first-year and undergraduate writing programs, we often focus on the immediate and local idiosyncrasies of what we do. Our program administration therefore is often responsive to institutional imperatives such as assessment mandates and constraints, particularly the allocation of resources determined at upper administrative levels. Because of a myriad of pressures, writing instruction and program administration have become, in large part, technocratically defined and managed. In response to these conditions, calls for rethinking and diversifying our approaches with more attention to a broadened scope of the rhetorical tradition, interdisciplinary methodologies, and an understanding of the implications of teaching rhetoric and composition beyond the classroom have increasingly shaped our thinking about new and innovative approaches to our writing programs. Heeding the insightful analyses and critiques offered by people in the field such as Sharon Crowley, Thomas P. Miller, and Michael A. Halloran, the articles in this special issue offer new and innovative approaches to writing program development and curricular design.
