Subject: Writing: Student Writing; Access, Regulation, Desire, by Teresa M. Lillis
Teresa M. Lillis, Open University, UK, STUDENT WRITING
Access, Regulation, Desire
"A theoretical and methodological coup! This book is
challenging but critical for anyone interested in widening
participation in higher education."
- Min-Zhan Lu, Drake University
Student Writing presents an accessible and thought-provoking
study of academic writing practices. Informed by composition
research from the US and academic literacies studies from
the UK, the book challenges current official discourse on
writing as a "skill". Lillis argues for an approach that
sees student writing as social practice. The book draws
extensively on a three-year study with ten non-traditional
students in higher education and their experience of
academic writing. Using case-study material - including
literacy history interviews, extended discussions with
students about their writing of discipline specific essays,
and extracts from essays - Lillis identifies the following
three significant dimensions to academic writing:
* Access to higher education and to its language and literacy
representational resources
* Regulation of meaning making in academic writing
* Desire for participation in higher education and for
choices over ways of meaning in academic writing.
Lillis' book raises questions about why academics write as
they do, who benefits from such writing, which meanings are
valued and how, on what terms "outsiders" get to be
"insiders" and at what costs.
