Drawing on archival and classroom evidence from public colleges and universities and written in a lively autoethnographic voice, Yood names \"genres of the commons\" intimate, informal writing activities that create peer-to-peer knowledge networks. She shows how these unique genres create collectivity-an academic commons-and calls on scholars to invest in composition as a course cultivating reflective, emergent, shared knowledge. Yood departs from movements that divest from the first-year composition classroom and details how an increasingly diverse student population composes complex, evolving cultural literacies that forge social bonds and forward innovation and intellectual and civic engagement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Composition Commons\u003c\/i\u003e reclaims the commons as critical idea and writing classroom activities as essential practices for remaking higher education in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Yood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646425421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646425426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Utah State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Jessica Yood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064854044927,"sku":"9781646425426","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_080508c2-ffda-48ad-b9fa-c51544943b8c.jpg?v=1712125113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-composition-commons-jessica-yood-9781646425426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
