Anson, CHris. "A Field at Sixty Something." CCC 62.1 (Sept 2010): 216-228.
Anson gives me some things to think about in planning a grad course in comp/rhet. Specifically, this passage near the end:
Reading any of these carefully edited volumes would be a good start. In fact, as dull as research syntheses can sometimes be in style and content, those new to the field of writing studies could do worse than plowing their way through any of the three research handbooks, and an even better graduate course might ask students to do so in parallel with selections from Miller's massive anthology. And although it's likely that each book will draw a different audience (for Smagorinsky, members of CCCC and NCTE; for MacArthur, Graham, and Fitzgerald, members of the American Educational Research Association and colleges of education; for Bazerman, scholars of literacy writ large, across disciplines; for Miller, college compositionists)...
