GenAdmin: Theorizing WPA Identities in the Twenty-First Century

Examines identity formation in a generation of rhetoric and composition professionals who have undergone explicit preparation in scholarly dimensions of writing program administration.

The authors argue for “GenAdmin” both as an intellectual identity and as a contingent philosophy of writing program work.

GenAdmin alternates between traditional chapters and accompanying “Interludes,” each of which offers extended illuminations of the single conflict or theoretical question integral to the preceding chapter.
