Where Professional Writing Meets Social Change: The Grant Proposal as a Site of Hospitality
Barrett, Kenna
Composition Studies, v41 n1 p70-83 Spr 2013
This essay builds upon prior attempts to foster linkages between the disciplines of Composition Studies and professional writing. I take up Jennifer Bay's suggestion that service learning is a site for connection and "hospitality" (in a Derridean sense) between these disciplines, advocating for and at the same time complicating Bay's proposal. Rather than offering straight-forward hospitality, I posit, service learning sites present opportunities to critique, welcome, and revise the multiple demands of composing today. (Contains 3 notes.)
