Virginia Anderson. Confrontational Teaching and Rhetorical Practice.

Anderson, Virginia. "Confrontational Teaching and Rhetorical Practice." CCC 48.2 (1997): 197-214.

Abstract:

Anderson enters the debate about the ethics of teaching politically activism in the writing classroom (Maxine Hairston). She examines the activist teaching of Dale Bauer and James Berlin in rhetorical, rather than activist, terms. She suggests that conscious pedagogical use of stasis theory, particularly the first levels of "conjecture" and "definition," takes the teacher out of the position of defending personal political opinions and commitments, leading students effectively into stasis theory levels of "value" and "action."
