Writing Childbirth: Women’s Rhetorical Agency in Labor and Online demonstrates the value of Widening the lens of rhetorical investigations of health and medicine beyond the interactions between patients and physicians and the discourse of physicians. Author Kim Hensley Owen draws on medical texts, popular advice books, and online birth plans and birth stories, as well as her own childbirth writing survey, to explore how women create and use every day rhetoric’s to assert agency in planning for, experiencing, and writing about childbirth. Seeking to challenge or expressing concerns about institutionalized medicine, women exercise rhetorical agency in undeniably feminist ways through the writing of birth plans and birth stories.Owens considers how women’s rhetorical choices in writing interact with institutionalized medicine and societal norms. This book reveals the contradictory messages women receive about childbirth, their conflicting expectations about it, and how writing and technology contribute to and reconcile these messages and expectations.

Tillfälligt slut
In Beyond Productivity, a wide range of contributors share honest narratives of the sometimes-impossible conditions that scholars face when completing writing projects. The essays provide backstage views of the authors' varying approaches to moving forward when the desire to produce wanes, when deciding a project is not working, when working within and around and redefining academic productivity expectations, and when writing with ever-changing bodies that do not always function as expected. This collection positions scholarly writers' ways of writing as a form of flexible, evolving knowledge. By exhibiting what is lost and gained through successive rounds of transformation and adaptation over time, the contributors offer a sustainable understanding and practice of process—one that looks beyond productivity as the primary measure of success. Each presents a fluid understanding of the writing process, illustrating its deeply personal nature and revealing how fragmented and disjointed methods and experiences can highlight what is precious about writing. Beyond Productivity determines anew the use and value of scholarly writing and the processes that produce it, both within and beyond the context of the losses, constraints, and adaptations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Identifying theoretical and practical approaches to incorporate one of the 21st century’s most popular artists into the classroom, Teaching with Taylor allows instructors to channel existing passion about and interest in Taylor Swift.This educational text offers readers theoretical approaches, pedagogical justifications, and practical models for incorporating Taylor Swift into their pedagogy across the curriculum and across various levels of instruction. The intention is to take advantage of existing knowledge and excitement students (and many instructors) have about Swift as an artist, public figure, and source of constant media coverage, and use those factors to explore Swift as an incredibly useful, versatile subject of study for modern pedagogy.The volume is divided into several sections focusing on: 1) theoretical approaches to teaching with Swift globally; 2) teaching with Swift in an English studies context; 3) grappling with racial and cultural identities in a Swift pedagogical context; 4) teaching with Swift in curricula/departments across disciplines as varied as Spanish, religion, and gender studies; and 5) shorter, praxis-focused essays that detail specific Swift-focused assignments ranging from classroom activities to longer-form and more in-depth student work. This collection offers a compilation of thoughtful, theoretically informed, and practical approaches to teaching concepts as far-ranging as lyrical analysis, narrative medicine, public theology, cultural integration vs. cultural appropriation, the rhetoric of conspiracy theories, media savvy, karmic feminism, and much more.
