"This book dialogically links scholarship in rhetoric, composition, and English Studies to the perspectives of faculty outside of English, and by so doing manages to both challenge and expand current thinking about writing pedagogy. The authors' recognition of the centrality of writing in undergraduate education leads them into extensive conversations with faculty from a variety of disciplines about writing's role in their own degree programs, scholarly disciplines and professional practices."--BOOK JACKET.
