Cynthia Lewiecki-Wilson and Jeff Sommers. Professing at the Fault Lines: Composition at Open Admissions Institutions.

Lewiecki-Wilson, Cynthia and Jeff Sommers. "Professing at the Fault Lines: Composition at Open Admissions Institutions." CCC 50.3 (1999): 438-462.

Abstract:

Not at the "margins" of the profession, the authors urge readers to think of teaching at open-admission site as central to the historical formation of the field, particularly in terms of creating equal access to higher education. This essay is intended to be a corrective for commonly held opinions about open-admission first-year composition students, classrooms, and teaching professionals.
