Rewriting Success in Rhetoric and Composition Careers

Amy Goodburn

Description

Rewriting Success in Rhetoric and Composition Careers presents alternative narratives of what constitutes success in the field of rhetoric and composition from those who occupy traditionally undervalued positions in the academy (tribal college, community colleges, postdoctoral tracks), those who have used their PhDs outside of the academy (a law firm, a textbook publisher, a community center), and those who have engaged in professionalization opportunities not typical in the field (research center, a nonprofit humanities organization).

Professîonalîzatîon means makîng your fîeld a researc dîscîplîne, wît lots of journals. Makîng your fîeld a re- searc dîscîplîne means gîvîng ît a lîmîted focus—îdeally, în te umanîtîes, one wît a îstorîcal sîde, and one also wît an empîrîcally verîfîable subject. —J. îîŝ Mîé
