Gerald Graff, Emeritus Professor of English and Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago and President of the Modern Language Association of America in 2008, has had a significant impact on teachers with books such as Professing Literature: An Institutional History, Beyond the Culture Wars: How Teaching the Conflicts Can Revitalize American Education, and Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind.
Cathy Birkenstein is an English lecturer at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has written pieces for College English as well as The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe, and College Composition and Communication with Gerald Graff.
The essential rhetorical gestures in academic writing are identified in They Say / I Say. Among the best books on academic writing, the book teaches students how to formulate their arguments in response to what others have said and gives templates to assist them in getting started. The fourth edition includes several NEW academic writing examples, a NEW chapter on Participating in Online Discussions, and a substantially updated chapter on Writing in the Social Sciences. Finally, two NEW readings present contemporary examples of rhetorical strategies in action.
