The end of composition studies
"In this treatise, David W. Smit calls for an end to the hegemony of writing instruction as an academic field. Setting forth an innovative new model for what it means to be a writing teacher in the era of writing across the curriculum, The End of Composition Studies urges a reconceptualization of graduate work in rhetoric and composition, systematically critiques the limitations of current pedagogical practices at the post-secondary level, and proposes a reorganization of writing instruction to make it the responsibility of all academic units."--Jacket
