Drawing on archival and classroom evidence from public colleges and universities and written in a lively autoethnographic voice, Yood names \"genres of the commons\" intimate, informal writing activities that create peer-to-peer knowledge networks. She shows how these unique genres create collectivity--an academic commons--and calls on scholars to invest in composition as a course cultivating reflective, emergent, shared knowledge. Yood departs from movements that divest from the first-year composition classroom and details how an increasingly diverse student population composes complex, evolving cultural literacies that forge social bonds and forward innovation and intellectual and civic engagement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Composition Commons\u003c\/i\u003e reclaims the commons as critical idea and writing classroom activities as essential practices for remaking higher education in the United States. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Utah State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47595450368151,"sku":"9781646425419","price":8883.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781646425419.webp?v=1774989820","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-composition-commons-writing-a-new-idea-of-the-university-9781646425419","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
