Inhaltsangabe
For writing courses with a writing-in-the-disciplines approach.
Each chapter is organized around a shared content topic, then divided into Science, Social Science and Humanities sections, and then two specific disciplinary units―each of which addresses the chapter's topic from the discipline's perspective. This topical organization enables composition courses to maintain a high level of internal coherence as students learn how different disciplines approach related, rather than disparate, issues. When students read writing from different disciplines addressing related topics, they are better able to see discipline-specific epistemological and rhetorical conventions―and how the two are related. Each unit includes two-to-three readings, critical thinking and writing apparatus for each reading, critical reading and class discussion questions, directed freewrite questions, and four-to-five essay assignments, which span a range of difficulty and are appropriate for assignment sequencing.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
ACADEMIC COMMUNITIES/DISCIPLINARY CONVENTIONS is a reader that revolutionizes writing across the curriculum texts by arranging readings around topics rather than disciplines. Each of the text's chapters is organized around a shared topic, such as Gender and Sexuality or Capital Economies, then divided into Science, Social Science, and Humanities section that address the chapter's topic from the discipline's perspective. Additionally, the text contains an array of assignments—all with clear contexts set up for the students.
With over 55 readings, the text represents a wide variety of disciplines, and offers more cutting-edge topics including ethnic studies, evolutionary psychology, and social ecology.
Among its features are:
- Readings that range from journalistic essays featured in popular periodicals to scientific reports and other pieces written for academics and specialists.
- Apparatus accompanying the readings which include critical reading, class discussion, and directed freewrite questions.
- An introduction that outlines a model writing process, and introduces students to important issues of purpose and audience.
- An MLA/APA documentation section.
