Disruptive pedagogies for archival researchIn a cultural moment when institutional repositories carry valuable secrets to the present and past, this collection argues for the critical, intellectual, and social value of archival instruction. Graban and Hayden and 37 other contributors examine how undergraduate and graduate courses in rhetoric, history, community literacy, and professional writing can successfully engage students in archival research in its many forms, and successfully model mutually beneficial relationships between archivists, instructors, and community organizations.Combining new and established voices from related fields, each of the book’s three sections includes a range of form-disrupting pedagogies. Section I focuses on how approaching the archive primarily as textfosters habits of mind essential for creating and using archives, for critiquing or inventing knowledge-making practices, and for being good stewards of private and public collections. Section II argues for conducting archival projects as collaboration through experiential learning and for developing a preservationist consciousness through disciplined research. Section III details praxis for revealing, critiquing, and intervening in historic racial omissions and gaps in the archives in which we all work.Ultimately, contributors explore archives as sites of activism while also raising important questions that persist in rhetoric and composition scholarship, such as how to decolonize research methodologies, how to conduct teaching and research that promote social justice, and how to shift archival consciousness toward more engaged notions of democracy. This collection highlights innovative classroom and curricular course models for teaching with and through the archives in rhetoric and composition and beyond.

A collection of accessible, interdisciplinary essays that explore archival practices to unsettle traditional archival theories and methodologies.What would it mean to unsettle the archives? How can we better see the wounded and wounding places and histories that produce absence and silence in the name of progress and knowledge? Unsettling Archival Research sets out to answer these urgent questions and more, with essays that chart a more just path for archival work.Unsettling Archival Researchis one of the first publications in rhetoric and writing studies dedicated to scholarship that unsettles disciplinary knowledge of archival research by drawing on decolonial, Indigenous, antiracist, queer, and community perspectives. Written by established and emerging scholars, essays critique not only the practices, ideologies, and conventions of archiving, but also offer new tactics for engaging critical, communal, and digital archiving within and against systems of power. Contributors reflect on efforts to counteract, resist, and explore alternatives to racist, colonial histories and which approaches best support such work. They also confront the potentials and pitfalls of common archival theories and methodologies. Unsettling Archival Research intervenes in a critical issue: whether the discipline’s assumptions about the archives serve or fail the communities they aim to represent and what can be done to center missing voices and perspectives. The aim is to explore the ethos and praxis of bearing witness in unsettling ways, carried out as a project of queering and/or decolonizing the archives.Unsettling Archival Research takes seriously the rhetorical force of place and wrestles honestly with histories that still haunt our nation, including the legacies of slavery, colonial violence, and systemic racism.

This thoroughly revised new edition offers a comprehensive introduction to the writing process, one grounded in archival and primary research methodologies.This second edition includes updated readings and student examples, expanded in-text features such as “Profile of a Primary Researcher” and “Communities in Context,” and emphasizes the role primary investigation plays across academic disciplines, in workplace writing, and within personal communication. This unique approach to writing instruction provides extensive practice in blending primary and secondary research, and connects students to topics they genuinely care about—including personal communities, professional interests, and the stories around them. Relying heavily upon innovative assignments and student examples, the second edition retains study of classical rhetorical components, but also explores research possibilities using generative artificial intelligence technologies, illustrates how to present findings using engaging elements of multimodality, and provides teachers with a complete toolbox for developing students’ natural curiosities about material culture.Designed for writing courses across disciplines, this student-centered approach to learning prepares readers for a lifetime of research and writing. Students find the study of enduring issues and materials, focus on multimedia research and composition, and the invitation to make meaning for targeted audiences to be authentic, urgent, and relevant.Online resources, including sample syllabi and course designs, sample class projects/assignment descriptions, activities, and discussion questions are available at www.routledge.com/9781041025825.

Before the full and honest tale of humanity can be told, it will be necessary to uncover the hidden roles of women in it and recover their voices from the forces that have diminished their contributions or even at times deliberately eclipsed them. The past half-century has seen women rise to claim their equal portion of recognition, and Remembering Women Differently addresses not only some of those neglected - it examines why they were deliberately erased from history.The contributors in this collection study the contributions of fourteen nearly forgotten women from around the globe working in fields that range from art to philosophy, from teaching to social welfare, from science to the military, and how and why those individuals became either marginalized or discounted in a mostly patriarchal world. These sterling contributors, scholars from a variety of disciplines - rhetoricians, historians, compositionists, and literary critics - employ feminist research methods in examining women's work, rhetorical agency, and the construction of female reputation. By recovering these voices and remembering the women whose contributions have made our civilization better and more whole, this work seeks to ensure that women's voices are never silenced again.

How the COVID-19 pandemic revealed gendered inequities in academic labor—and how to overcome themAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020 proved universally challenging, women, especially, found themselves caught between professional and familial responsibilities as work and homelife boundaries converged and collapsed. These gendered workplace struggles were not unique to the pandemic, but, rather, were exacerbated and exposed by the public health response. In Blurred Boundaries: Feminist Essays on Twenty-First-Century Academic Labor, scholars, teachers, and administrators pair eyewitness narratives with sustained interrogation of interminable labor inequities to demonstrate the ongoing dilemmas posed by gendered social and professional expectations.Grounded in rhetoric and composition scholarship and feminist methodologies, contributors highlight systemic labor issues and suggest solutions to these embedded, ongoing problems. They pose critical questions regarding institutions' responsibilities for engaging intentional decision-making practices both to disrupt recurrent work imbalances and to support sustainable, ethically managed academic labor practices.
