Culture Shock and the Practice of Profession: Training the Next Wave in Rhetoric and Composition (Research in the Teaching of Rhetoric & Composition)

This book steps into the long-standing debate about how doctoral programs should prepare students for the profession. The contributors explore both the conceptual and practical specifics of a refocused training. They build a compelling argument that endowing students with a stable identity as rhetoric/composition professionals is less crucial than preparing them to adopt myriad and shifting professional personas that position them for active rhetorical practice.
