Writing Utopias: Writing across the Curriculum and the Promise of Reform.

Mahala, Daniel

College English, v53 n7 p773-89 Nov 1991

Argues that questions implied by Writing across the Curriculum (WAC) have been muted to insulate the tenuous consensus on which WAC is built from the clash of powerful and professional ideological interests in the university. Includes discussion of British expressivism as curricular critique, and the U.S. retreat from institutional critique. (PRA)
