This new study reveals how institutional practices and discourses shape the way men and women are conceived of, and how through this process, gender stereotypes and expectations are created.

Informed by the latest research and trends, these expert authors examine the way in which domestic and global institutions shape and reflect gender interests and the extent to which feminists can challenge gender norms through political institutions.

At a time when the study of composition seems especially prone to excess and imbalanceheading toward what could be a tyrannizing theoretical orderhere is a call back to the center, to the concreteness of the teaching moment itself.

In a festschrift to honor William F.

This balancing act is a tribute to Irmscher, who counseled compromise and the resolution of conflicting viewpoints. Irmscher could...
