Book synopsis

Recent developments in the American academy - the growing emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, the attention on public scholarship, and the potential for alternate forms of communication created by new media technologies - have put pressure on how scholars write. Within this shifting landscape of institutional demands and professional expectations, the contributors to this volume reflect on the challenges of academic writing. They discuss their training as scholars in a particular discipline, the experiences that tested that training, and how they adapted and revised (sometimes radically) how they write in response. As they weigh the costs and benefits of writing within the framework of discipline-based conventions they ask: how can scholars write for different publics, including a so-called general public, while adhering to the rules of evidence and rigorous standards of analysis that define good scholarship? Arguing that form is not incidental, but consequential, this much-needed book combines cutting-edge scholarship with experimental writing methodologies to deepen the scholarly discourse.
