Other chapters discuss the importance of flexibility, consider arguments for a rhetorical or civic discourse core for the writing major, address the relationship between rhetoric and composition majors, and review the role of multiliteracies in the major.\u003cbr\u003e The field of composition has not come to a consensus on the shape, content, or focus of the undergradutate major. But as individual programs develop and refine their curricula, one thing has become clear: we must think about them in ways that go beyond our particular circumstances, theorize them in ways that secure their place on our campuses and in our discipline for years to come. \u003ci\u003eWhat We Are Becoming\u003c\/i\u003e is an effort to do just that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Giberson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874217636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874217636\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 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 243","brand":"Greg Giberson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013826261247,"sku":"9780874217636","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-we-are-becoming-greg-giberson-9780874217636","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
