Description

Design Discourse: Composing and Revising Programs in Professional and Technical Writing/ edited byDavid Franke/ Alex Reid/ andAnthony Di Renzo/addresses the complexities of developing professional and technical writing programs. The essays in the collection offer reflections on efforts to bridge two cultures — what the editors characterize as the "art and science of writing" — often by addressing explicitly the tensions between them. Design Discourse offers insights into the high-stakes decisions made by program designers as they seek to "function at the intersection of the practical and the abstract/ the human and the technical."
