Risk in Academic Writing

Postgraduate Students, their Teachers and the Making of Knowledge

Herausgeber: Thesen, Lucia; Cooper, Linda

Beschreibung

This book brings together a variety of voices - including students and teachers, journal editors and authors - to interrogate the notion of risk in academic writing. Risk-taking is viewed as a productive force, and one that can be used to challenge the silences and erasures inherent in academic tradition and convention.
