Abstract:

This book brings together a variety of voices – students and teachers, journal
editors and authors, writers from the global north and south – to interrogate
the notion of risk as it applies to the production of academic writing.
Risk-taking is viewed as a productive force in teaching, learning and writing,
and one that can be used to challenge the silences and erasures inherent in
academic tradition and convention. Widening participation and the
internationalisation of higher education make questions of language, register,
agency and identity in postgraduate writing all the more pressing, and this
book offers a powerful argument against the further reinforcement of a
‘northern’ Anglophone understanding of knowledge and its production and
dissemination. This volume will provide food-for-thought for postgraduate
students and their supervisors everywhere.
