Mapping the Methods of Composition/Rhetoric Dissertations: A “Landscape Plotted and Pieced”

Benjamin Miller

Abstract

What methods do graduate students take up for their dissertation projects? This article shares findings from distant reading of 2,711 abstracts, suggesting that humanist approaches predominate within the Consortium of Doctoral Programs in Rhetoric and Composition, but not without some methodological pluralism. A large number of studies outside the consortium are also considered.
