Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-08 00:00:00 JOHN DANIELSON In Gender and the Journal, Cinthia Gannett looks at the use of journals (or diaries) in academic settings, that is, as assigned work for students. Specifically, she is interested in the reasons why journal has become the preferred term in education, while diaries are seen as "overly personal, confessional, trivial" (read: feminine) (p. 21), and why educators and academics feel the need to make that distinction. As such, the book focuses on "the set of tensions among traditional academic and literary discourse communities, women as marginalized users of discourse within those communities, and the marginal discourses of journals and diaries" (p. 17). Most of the book is not particularly relevant for my purposes, but her overarching argument (the journal/diary distinction) does correlate with the "real blog" / "online diary" distinction that many people (including one of my students this semester) feel the need to make.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-02 00:00:00 Karen Rubino As reading to prepare to teach a course to first-time composition teachers, I found this to be one of the most accessible, comprehensive, and useful things I found. While Dethier might go on longer than he needs to about the good things about being a composition instructor, he also has really solid advice to offer surrounding many of the challenges that come along with such teaching. And his tone is conversational and takes seriously the professionalism and skills of the would-be teachers he is addressing.
