Description

The Locations of Composition examines how spaces, places, and locations define, problematize, and shape composition studies. From a wide variety of perspectives, including critical theory, rhetoric, cultural geography, genre theory, postcolonial studies, and media studies, the contributors explore the disciplinary boundaries and authority of composition studies, how teachers of writing can engage students in more place-centered pedagogies, and how compositionists can sort through the often hidden and intricate relationships between and among composition's places. The book reveals the complex ways that places are central to the field's history, identity, and ability to move and change.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

e owe debts of gratitude to many people in locations far and near, W starting with those scholars who contributed chapters to this col-lection. We want to thank them for the time and energy they spent pro-ducing such high-quality work, and we are grateful for the friendships and professional relationships that grew out of their participation in this project. Reading their work has not only been intellectually stimu-lating but downright fun as well. We would also like to thank the anony-mous peer reviewers whose insightful comments and suggestions made us rethink many of the ideas and assumptions that droveThe Locations of Compositionfrom beginning to end. Their feedback was not only help-ful but crucial as this project evolved over the last few years. Addition-ally, we express thanks and gratitude to our many colleagues at the University of Texas-Pan American and Florida Atlantic University, whose conversations with us about space, place, location, and composi-tion studies helped improve this collection in significant ways. We also want to thank the editors and staff at State University of New York Press for their confidence in this project and their many sug-gestions along the way. In particular, we would like to thank Priscilla Ross, James Peltz, Larin McLaughlin, Diane Ganeles, and Wyatt Benner for their efforts in bringing this book together. Finally, we thank those closest to us for their love and support, and their encouragement and patience that makes our work possible—espe-cially Cindy, William, and Chloe Keller and Traci, Cole, and Carson Weisser.
