Sustainability as a Design Principle for Composition: Situational Creativity as a Habit of Mind

Matthew Newcomb

Abstract

Design is a rhetorical activity that requires creative thinking in response to difficult situations. That creative work ultimately builds new relationships and new contexts. Sustainable design can become an approach to composition that alters ways of thinking about writing situations, keeping ethical and contextual factors in focus, and encouraging students to develop habits of situational creativity.
