Trauma and the Teaching of Writing

About this book

Analyzing their own responses to national traumas, writing teachers question both the purposes and pedagogies of teaching writing.

Deepening and broadening our understanding of what it means to teach in times of trauma, writing teachers analyze their own responses to national traumas ranging from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to the various appropriations of 9/11. Offering personal, historical, and cultural perspectives, they question both the purposes and pedagogies of teaching writing.
