Naming What We Know: Threshold Concepts of Writing Studies by Linda Adler-Kassner, Elizabeth Wardle
5.0
A clear exposition on the core principles of knowledge in writing studies, and their applications for various aspects of the university, including first year composition, undergraduate and graduate studies, writing centers, and assessment. The 37 concepts are grouped according to 5 categories, which are themselves threshold concepts:
1. Writing is a social and rhetorical activity.
2. Writing speaks to situations through recognizable forms.
3. Writing enacts and creates identies and ideologies.
4. All writers have more to learn.
5. Writing is (also always) a cognitive activity.
I really like how the authors posit that the threshold concepts reflect "final-for-now definitions of only some if what [the] field knows," and look forward to applying some of these concepts in my own teaching.
