Serendipity in Rhetoric, Writing, and Literacy Research
Editat de Maureen Daly Goggin, Peter N. Gogginen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2018 – vârsta de la 18 ani
In
the
course
of
research,
most
scholars
have
known
moments
of
surprise,
catastrophe,
or
good
fortune,
though
they
seldom
refer
to
these
occurrences
in
reports
or
discuss
them
with
students. Serendipity
in
Rhetoric,
Writing,
and
Literacy
Research reveals
the
different
kinds
of
work
scholars,
particularly
those
in
rhetoric,
writing,
and
literacy,
need
to
do
in
order
to
recognize
a
serendipitous
discovery
or
a
missed
opportunity.
In published scholarship and research, the path toward discovery seems clean and direct. The dead ends, backtrackings, start-overs, and stumbles that occur throughout the research process are elided, and seems that the researchers started at point A and arrived safely and neatly at point B without incident, as if by magic. The path, however, is never truly clear and straight. Research and writing is messy. Serendipity in Rhetoric, Writing, and Literacy Research features chapters from twenty-three writing scholars who have experienced moments of serendipity in their own work—not by magic or pure chance but through openness and active waiting, which offer an opportunity to prepare the mind.
Serendipity in Rhetoric, Writing, and Literacy Research illustrates the reality of doing research: there is no reliable prescription or one-size-fits-all manual, but success can be found with focused dedication and an open mind.
Contributors: Ellen Barton, Zachary C. Beare, Lynn Z. Bloom, Jennifer Clary-Lemon, Caren Wakerman Converse, Gale Coskan-Johnson, Kim Donehower, Bill Endres, Shirley E. Faulkner-Springfield, Lynée Lewis Gaillet, Brad Gyori, Judy Holiday, Gesa E. Kirsch, Lori Ostergaard, Doreen Piano, Liz Rohan, Ryan Skinnell, Patricia Wilde, Daniel Wuebben
