Scott Wible. Pedagogies of the "Students' Right" Era: The Language Curriculum Research Group's Project for Linguistic Diversity.

Wible, Scott. "Pedagogies of the "Students' Right" Era: The Language Curriculum Research Group's Project for Linguistic Diversity." CCC 57.3 (2006): 442-478.

Abstract:

This essay examines a Brooklyn College-based research collective that placed African American languages and cultures at the center of the composition curriculum. Recovering such pedagogies challenges the perception of the CCCC's 1974 "Students' Right to Their Own Language" resolution as a progressive theory divorced from the everyday practices and politics of the composition classroom.
