This book brings together the work of scholars from around the world UK, Pakistan, US, South Africa, Hungary, Korea, Mexico to illustrate and celebrate the many ways in which Roz Ivanic has advanced the academic study of writing. Focusing on writing in different formal contexts of education, from primary through to further and higher education in a range of national contexts, the twenty one original contributions in the book critically engage with theoretical and empirical issues raised in Ivanics influential body of work. In their exploration of writers struggles with the demands of dominant literacy the authors significantly extend understandings of writing practices in formal institutions. Organized around three themes central to Ivanics work creativity and identity; pedagogy; and research methodologies the twelve chapters and nine personal and scholarly reflections reveal the powerful ways in which Ivanics work has influenced thinking in the field of writing and continues to open up avenues for future questioning and research.
Recenzijas
Why Writing Matters is an impressive appreciation of the work done by one remarkable person. It includes research from within a social practices framework on academic literacy. The editors state that the aim of the volume is to cater to both scholars and practitioners. This ambitious goal has certainly been achieved. -- Rhonwen Bowen, University of Gothenburg, in Iberica 22: 179-198, 2011
