More About This Textbook
Overview
On the other hand, his approach is also at odds with elements of the pedagogies of such theorists as Berlin, Bizzell, and Shor. Schroeder argues that, for students, postmodern instability in literacy and meaning has become a question of the legitimacy of current discourse of education. Schroeder is committed, then, to constructing literacies jointly with students, and by so doing to bring students to engage more deeply with education and society.
This does not mean he abandons traditional discourse or traditional practice in the classroom; rather, tradition becomes only one voice among many, instead of the dominating one. ReInventing the University is an extended discussion of why Schroeder feels this is necessary, how he tries to construct literacies that have legitimacy with students, and what his experiences could mean for classrooms, departments, and disciplines.
Editorial Reviews

Schroeder (Writing Across the Curriculum program, Long Island U.-C.W. Post campus) critiques the current "crisis in literacy" as reflecting cultural issues more than deficits in literacy skills. He dissects the context of conventional academic literacies in US higher education via an analysis of English studies' textbooks; and presents students' and colleagues' narratives on his constructed literacies approach.
