Francis J. Sullivan, Arabella Lyon, Dennis Lebofsky, Susan Wells, and Eli Goldblatt. Student Needs and Strong Composition: The Dialectics of Writing Program Reform.

Sullivan, Francis J., et al. "Student Needs and Strong Composition: The Dialectics of Writing Program Reform." CCC 48.3 (1997): 372-391.

Abstract:

Sullivan et al. raise the problem writing programs face trying to liberate student writing and value home languages, while serving as surveillance for the institutions in which they are embedded. They analyze the politics underlying their own institution's (Temple University) recent comprehensive reform of its writing programs, focusing specifically on first-year courses. They argue for the reclamation of "requirement," "service," and "need" in order to use these terms tactically for reform and to rethink composition's objectives.
