Marjorie Roemer, Lucille Schultz, and Russel Durst. Reframing the Great Debate on First-Year Writing.

Roemer, Marjorie, Lucille Schultz, and Russel Durst. "Reframing the Great Debate on First-Year Writing." CCC 50.3 (1999): 377-392.

Abstract:

Roemer, et al lay out past and present debates about the first-year writing requirement and answer back to pro-abolitionist claims that FYC hinders progress toward disciplinary respect and prestige for composition. They argue that composition's strong scholarship and pedagogy that has come from working with and through issues like interdisciplinarity, diversity, and politics of access through language and literacy that arise in the complex student populations that occur in FYC.
