Kurt Spellmeyer

Abstract

In a university increasingly shaped by commercial interests promoting “skills” at the expense of knowledge, composition has the opportunity to cooperate with the new order. But the field might choose to play an opposing role, revitalizing the humanities by placing politics where it belongs—at the very center of learning.
