First Semester: Graduate Students, Teaching Writing, and the Challenge of Middle Ground

by Jessica Restaino

Using a three-part theoretical construct--labor, action, and work--as defined in Hannah Arendt's work of political and social theory, The Human Condition, and rich qualitative data gathered from course observations, interviews, and correspondence, Jessica Restaino looks at the experiences of four new graduate students who are first-year writing teachers at "Public U," a large state university.
