Framing and Openings (Book)

From Elizabeth Wardle's article, "Identity, Authority, and Learning to Write in New Workplaces":

As composition widens its focus beyond academic writing, it is increasingly important to consider what it means to write in the workplace. (1) And one of the reasons it is important to understand this is because, increasingly, workplace writing plays a role in the discursive lives of our students--both those who are of non-traditional and of traditional college age.

"We need to respond more systematically to a world in which the theory and practice of writing and reading increasingly challenge us to recognize the connections between what happens on campus and what happens in other places and at other stages of life." (Bronwyn T. Williams' "Seeking New Worlds: The Study of Writing Beyond our Classrooms" in the September 2010 CCC)
