Learning from the Lived Experiences of Graduate Student Writers
Editat de Shannon Madden, Michele Eodice, Kirsten T. Edwards, Alexandria Locketten Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020 – vârsta ani
The first half of the book showcases the voices of graduate student writers themselves, who describe their experiences with graduate school literacy through various social issues like mentorship, access, writing in communities, and belonging in academic programs. Their narratives illuminate how systemic issues significantly affect graduate students from historically oppressed groups. The second half accompanies these stories with proposed solutions informed by empirical findings that provide evidence for new practices and programming for graduate student writers.
Learning from the Lived Experiences of Graduate Student Writers values student experience as an integral part of designing approaches that promote epistemic justice. This text provides a fresh, comprehensive, and essential perspective on graduate writing and communication support that will be useful to administrators and faculty across a range of disciplines and institutional contexts.

Recenzii
“Madden, Eodice, Edwards, and Lockett curate an important and necessary collection on inclusion and diversity in graduate education. Readers will be compelled to examine how their current beliefs and practices impact students from historically marginalized groups and to reconsider what it means to support graduate writers.”
—Nathalie Singh-Corcoran, West Virginia University
"This book fills a glaring gap in our scholarship on graduate writing support and graduate education at large, a gap where students tell it like it is. Listening emotionally to the often shocking and yet relatable experiences and reflections of graduate students, to the hegemony-disrupting perspectives and courageous demands for action made by graduate students and my fellow advocates for them, I realized, for instance, why arguments for 'universal design' or 'mainstreaming' feel offensive. The book not only issues wake-up calls about the status quo of the colonial, hegemonic, unjust, insensitive, and complacent culture of graduate education. It also builds new foundations upon which we may begin to act and effect institutional change—foundations of epistemic justice, of acknowledgment of trauma, feminist co-mentoring, decolonial action, and fostering of agency and voice of graduate students. For scholars, mentors, and academic leaders alike, this book is a refreshing must-read."
—Shyam Sharma, Stony Brook University
“This important collection makes a definitive contribution to our field’s knowledge about graduate student writers. Everyone who seeks to support graduate student writers should read this book.”
