Establishing Dialogue between Theory and Composition Classrooms

K. Shannon Howard

Abstract

Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble has the reputation of being a difficult book to read and teach. This project shows how compositionists may help theory teachers approach Butler from a rhetorical lens. This lens calls attention to the conversational moves in Butler’s writing and how those create productive dialogue among scholars.
