| associate's degree in writing: Solving the World's Problems Robert Lee Brewer, 2013-09-01 The World in Robert Lee Brewer's Solving the World's Problems is a slippery world ... where chaos always hovers near, where we are (and should be) splashing around in dark puddles. And one feels a bit dizzy reading these poems because (while always clear, always full of meaning) they come at reality slantwise so that nothing is quite the same and the reader comes away with a new way of looking at the ordinary objects and events of life. The poems are brim-full of surprises and delights, twists in the language, double-meanings of words, leaps of thought and imagination, interesting line-breaks. There are love and relationship poems, dream poems, poems of life in the modern world. And always the sense (as he writes) of pulling the world closer to me/leaves falling to the ground/ birds flying south. I read these once, twice with great enjoyment. I will go back to them often. -Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Then, Something |

Inspired by June Jordan 's 1995 Poetry for the People, here is a blueprint for a 21st-century workshop model that protects and platforms writers of color. Instead of earmarking dusty anthologies, imagine workshop participants Skyping with contemporary writers of difference. Instead of tolerating bigoted criticism, imagine workshop participants moderating their own feedback sessions. Instead of yielding to the red-penned judgement of instructors, imagine workshop participants citing their own text in dialogue. The Antiracist Writing Workshop is essential reading for anyone looking to revolutionize the old workshop model into an enlightened, democratic counterculture. |

Garcia, Soo Hyon Kim, Katie Manthey, Trixie G Smith, 2020-11-02 In Graduate Writing Across the Disciplines, the editors and their colleagues argue that graduate education must include a wide range of writing support designed to identify writers' needs, teach writers through direct instruction, and support writers through programs such as writing centers, writing camps, and writing groups. The chapters in this collection demonstrate that attending to the needs of graduate writers requires multiple approaches and thoughtful attention to the distinctive contexts and resources of individual universities while remaining mindful of research on and across similar programs at other universities. |

At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation—awkward but electrifying—something life changing begins. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.

| associate's degree in writing: Secrets and Shamrocks Phyllis Gobbell, 2016 Meadows, hedgerows, and tree-lined lanes welcome Jordan Mayfair to County Tipperary, Ireland. She's traveling again with her uncle, travel writer Alexander Carlyle. Their destination is a charming little town, Thurles (pronounced Tur-lis), where old friends, Colin and Grace O'Toole, own Shepherds Guesthouse Bed and Breakfast. They arrive at the B&B in the midst of a search for a missing toddler. The secrecy surrounding Little Jimmie's disappearance and safe return sets the tone for their stay at Shepherds, where secrets are as plentiful as shamrocks. While Alex visits the spectacular sights in the region for his travel guide, Jordan is drawn into the dramas of the townspeople. From the warm and welcoming B&B to the traditional Irish pub, Finnegan's, where music is the very air that we breathe, the guests and locals harbor secrets that put Jordan at risk. Colin and Grace have their own secrets. Their unstable daughter, Bridget, may be charged with the murder of a well-respected doctor. Bridget, Little Jimmie's mother, has run away to the woods to the cottage of an old woman named Magdala, a believer in leprechauns and fairies. Jordan's visit to the cottage alerts her architect's eye. Her discovery of a priest hole will eventually put her--and Alex--in the most perilous situation yet. The second book in the Jordan Mayfair Mystery Series finds our Savannah architect immersed in secrets, but in so much more--the history, music, passions, and the indomitable spirit of the Irish who never forget. |

Fleming, Ph.d., Ph D Kevin J Fleming, 2016-07-02 How is it possible that both university graduates and unfilled job openings are both at record-breaking highs? Our world has changed.

| associate's degree in writing: Autumn in Venice Andrea Di Robilant, 2019-05-14 The illuminating story of writer and muse—which also examines the cost to a young woman of her association with a larger-than-life literary celebrity—Autumn in Venice is an intimate look at Hemingway’s final years. In the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway and his fourth wife traveled for the first time to Venice, which Hemingway called “absolutely god-damned wonderful.” A year shy of his fiftieth birthday, Hemingway hadn’t published a novel in nearly a decade when he met and fell in love with Adriana Ivancich, a striking Venetian girl just out of finishing school. Here Andrea di Robilant re-creates with sparkling clarity this surprising, years-long relationship, during which Adriana inspired a man thirty years her senior to complete his great final work. Hemingway used Adriana as the model for Renata in Across the River and into the Trees, and continued to visit Venice to see her; when the Ivanciches traveled to Cuba, Adriana was there as he wrote The Old Man and the Sea. |

Whether the goal is to write the next serious work of best-selling nonfiction, to develop a platform as a public scholar, or simply to craft clear and concise workplace communication, The Art of Public Writing demystifies the process, showing why it’s not just nice, but necessary, to connect with those inside and outside one’s area of expertise. Drawing on a diverse set of examples ranging from Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species to Steven Levitt’s Freakonomics, Zachary Michael Jack offers invaluable advice for researchers, scholars, and working professionals determined to help interpret field-specific debates for wider audiences, address complex issues in the public sphere, and successfully engage audiences beyond the Corner Office and the Ivory Tower. |
| associate's degree in writing: Doing Time, Writing Lives Patrick W. Berry, 2018-01-24 Winner, Coalition for Community Writing Outstanding Book Award 2019 Doing Time, Writing Lives offers a much-needed analysis of the teaching of college writing in U.S. prisons, a racialized space that—despite housing more than 2 million people—remains nearly invisible to the general public. Through the examination of a college-in-prison program that promotes the belief that higher education in prison can reduce recidivism and improve life prospects for the incarcerated and their families, author Patrick W. Berry exposes not only incarcerated students’ hopes and dreams for their futures but also their anxieties about whether education will help them. Combining case studies and interviews with the author’s own personal experience of teaching writing in prison, this book chronicles the attempts of incarcerated students to write themselves back into a society that has erased their lived histories. It challenges polarizing rhetoric often used to describe what literacy can and cannot deliver, suggesting more nuanced and ethical ways of understanding literacy and possibility in an age of mass incarceration. |

| associate's degree in writing: American Women Activists and Autobiography Heather Ostman, 2021-11-04 American Women Activists and Autobiography examines the feminist rhetorics that emerge in six very different activists’ autobiographies, as they simultaneously tell the stories of unconventional women’s lives and manifest the authors’ arguments for social and political change, as well as provide blueprints for creating tectonic shifts in American society. Exploring self-narratives by six diverse women at the forefront of radical social change since 1900—Jane Addams, Emma Goldman, Dorothy Day, Angela Davis, Mary Crow Dog, and Betty Friedan—the author offers a breadth of perspectives to current dialogues on motherhood, essentialism, race, class, and feminism, and highlights the shifts in situated feminist rhetorics through the course of the last one hundred years. This book is a timely instructional resource for all scholars and graduate students in rhetorical studies, composition, American literature, women's studies, feminist rhetorics, and social justice. |

| associate's degree in writing: How To Become An Author, How To Be Highly Successful As An Author, And How To Earn Revenue As An Author Dr. Harrison Sachs, 2024-05-06 This essay sheds light on how to become an author, explicates how to be highly successful as an author, and elucidates how to earn revenue as an author. While becoming an author may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become an author. Much to the relief of prospective authors, it is possible to become an author in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become an author is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective author can follow to become an author is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of an author. Writing skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of May of 2024, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population are employed as authors. In the U.S., for instance, less than 49,500 work as “writers and authors” even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of May of 2024. As of May of 2024, less than .015% of people in the U.S. work as “writers and authors”. This means that out of 6,627 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most works as a “writer or author” as of May of 2024. As of May of 2024, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than authors in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become an author. As of May of 2024, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become an author. As of May of 2024, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more authors, especially since they are not only able to produce informative articles, but are also able to produce epic fantasy novels, insightful educational books, and intriguing biography books. Screenplays for movies and television series can be based on epic fantasy novels. Videos games can also be based on epic fantasy novels. Media franchises can also be based on epic fantasy novels. Media franchises that are based on epic fantasy novels can change people's lives from around the world. Media franchises that are based on epic fantasy novels can provide lucrative career opportunities to video game developers, animators, graphic designers, graphic artists, actors, screenplay writers, sculptors, musicians, content creators, and live streamers. The Harry Potter franchise, for instance, is a media franchise that is based on epic fantasy novels. The fictitious wizarding world is intriguing to fans of the fantasy genre since it is replete with interesting characters, compelling stories, and incredible settings. The Harry Potter franchise has had bearing on helping producers of Harry Potter merchandise, wholesalers of Harry Potter merchandise, and retailers of Harry Potter merchandise to generate sales revenue. The Harry Potter franchise has also had bearing on helping resellers of Harry Potter merchandise on the secondhand market to generate sales revenue. Customers are fond of Harry Potter merchandise. The Harry Potter franchise has provided lucrative career opportunities to an exorbitant amount of professionals across disparate industries. The Harry Potter franchise has provided lucrative career opportunities to a copious amount of professionals that are not limited to the aforementioned types of professionals. The Harry Potter franchise has, for instance, also provided lucrative career opportunities to movie directors who have been involved in directing the movies that are subsumed under the Harry Potter franchise. Furthermore, the Harry Potter franchise has also provided lucrative career opportunities to board game designers who have been involved in designing board games that are based on the Harry Potter franchise. Moreover, the Harry Potter franchise has also helped composers who are involved in the composition of songs for the Harry Potter franchise to obtain substantial wealth. The Harry Potter franchise has changed people’s live since it has furnished people with the opportunity to generate extreme wealth. People are able to seamlessly obtain their needs that are apart of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory when they have extreme wealth. |
| associate's degree in writing: The Idea of a Writing Laboratory Neal Lerner, 2009-07-09 The Idea of a Writing Laboratory is a book about possibilities, about teaching and learning to write in ways that can transform both teachers and students. Author Neal Lerner explores higher education’s rich history of writing instruction in classrooms, writing centers and science laboratories. By tracing the roots of writing and science educators’ recognition that the method of the lab––hands-on student activity—is essential to learning, Lerner offers the hope that the idea of a writing laboratory will be fully realized more than a century after both fields began the experiment. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, writing instructors and science teachers recognized that mass instruction was inadequate for a burgeoning, “non-traditional” student population, and that experimental or laboratory methods could prove to be more effective. Lerner traces the history of writing instruction via laboratory methods and examines its successes and failures through case studies of individual programs and larger reform initatives. Contrasting the University of Minnesota General College Writing Laboratory with the Dartmouth College Writing Clinic, for example, Lerner offers a cautionary tale of the fine line between experimenting with teaching students to write and “curing” the students of the disease of bad writing. The history of writing within science education also wends its way through Lerner’s engaging work, presenting the pedagogical origins of laboratory methods to offer educators in science in addition to those in writing studies possibilities for long-sought after reform. The Idea of a Writing Laboratory compels readers and writers to “don those white coats and safety glasses and discover what works” and asserts that “teaching writing as an experiment in what is possible, as a way of offering meaning-making opportunities for students no matter the subject matter, is an endeavor worth the struggle.” |
| associate's degree in writing: The Honeymoon Corruption Richard Lee Zuras, 2015-03-31 It's the early 1960s, and while the Doo-wop era is ending, racial and class prejudice is alive and thriving in the American South. In this unforgiving environment, star-crossed young lovers Althea and Guy are determined to wed-despite the objections of Althea's disapproving and powerful father. Undeterred, the couple elopes to the seaside resort town of Wildwood, New Jersey, with two suitcases, a veil, and no plans. Fast running out of cash, they fall in with a local duo: the free-spirited Jeannie and the fast-talking Max Castaldi, who may be able to provide just the break the young couple needs. But as Max introduces Guy to a shadier world that seethes under the boardwalk lights, both Guy and Althea-so full of optimism at first-soon learn that getting on their feet in this town may demand more than they are prepared to give. Set against a backdrop of the glitzy, glamorous resorts of the Mid-Atlantic coast in its heyday, The Honeymoon Corruption marries hope with fear, desperation with promise, and triumph with tragedy, revealing the seedy underbelly of the East in the Kennedy era-and the true cost of a fairy-tale ending that might not be such a fairy tale after all. |

| associate's degree in writing: Malaya Cinelle Barnes, 2019 From Cinelle Barnes, author of the memoir Monsoon Mansion, comes a moving and reflective essay collection about finding freedom in America. Out of a harrowing childhood in the Philippines, Cinelle Barnes emerged triumphant. But as an undocumented teenager living in New York, her journey of self-discovery was just beginning. Because she couldn't get a driver's license or file taxes, Cinelle worked as a cleaning lady and a nanny and took other odd jobs--and learned to look over her shoulder, hoping she wouldn't get caught. When she falls in love and marries a white man from the South, Cinelle finds herself trying to adjust to the thorny underbelly of southern hospitality while dealing with being a new mother, an immigrant affected by PTSD, and a woman with a brown body in a profoundly white world. From her immigration to the United States, to navigating a broken legal system, to balancing assimilation and a sense of self, Cinelle comes to rely on her resilience and her faith in the human spirit to survive and come of age all over again. Lyrical, emotionally driven, and told through stories both lived and overheard, Cinelle's intensely personal, yet universal, exploration of race, class, and identity redefines what it means to be a woman--and an American--in a divided country. |
| associate's degree in writing: Writing for Engagement Mary P. Sheridan, Megan J. Bardolph, Megan Faver Hartline, Drew Holladay, 2018-05-07 Engagement is trendy. Although paired most often with community, diverse invocations of engagement have gained cache, capturing longstanding shifts toward new practices of knowledge making that both reflect and facilitate multiple ways of being an academic. Engagement functions as a gloss for these shifts—addressing more expansive understandings of where, how, and with whom we research, teach, and partner. This book examines these shifts, locating them within socio-economic trends within and beyond the higher educational landscape, with particular focus on how they have been enacted within the diverse subfields of writing studies. In so doing, this book provides concrete models for enacting these new responsive practices, thereby encouraging scholars to examine how they can facilitate writing for social action through taking positions, building relationships, and crossing boundaries. |
| associate's degree in writing: Helping College Students Write Laura M. Harrison, Becky Challenger, Erin Morgenstern, Oumarou Abdoulaye Balarabe, 2024-08-01 Although many educators want to help their students overcome their writing challenges, most higher education instructors do not have formal training in teaching writing. This book provides a detailed roadmap for college educators to help students make substantial improvements in their writing, particularly in courses where writing is a component, but not the primary focus. This accessible guide offers conceptual tools and practical strategies, including lesson plans, stock comments instructors can use to explain frequently occurring writing problems, and writing prompts to help struggling students address writer’s block. Covering topics such as managing grading time, reducing students’ anxiety about writing, giving clear and formative feedback, troubleshooting, and providing practical tips for helping ESL students, this book is a one-stop shop for assisting students across academic disciplines. By implementing the guidance offered in this manual, college and university faculty and instructors can guide students effectively and efficiently in improving their writing. |

| associate's degree in writing: Twenty-One Genres and How to Write Them Brock Dethier, 2013-04-15 In this classroom-tested approach to writing, Brock Dethier teaches readers how to analyze and write twenty-one genres that students are likely to encounter in college and beyond. This practical, student-friendly, task-oriented text confidently guides writers through step-by-step processes, reducing the anxiety commonly associated with writing tasks. In the first section, Dethier efficiently presents each genre, providing models; a description of the genres’ purpose, context, and discourse; and suggestions for writing activities or “moves” that writers can use to get words on the page and accomplish their writing tasks. The second section explains these moves, over two hundred of them, in chapters ranging from “Solve Your Process Problems” and “Discover” to “Revise” and “Present.” Applicable to any writing task or genre, these moves help students overcome writing blocks and develop a piece of writing from the first glimmers of an idea to its presentation. This approach to managing the complexity and challenge of writing in college strives to be useful, flexible, eclectic, and brief—a valuable resource for students learning to negotiate unfamiliar writing situations. |
| associate's degree in writing: Academy-Industry Relationships and Partnerships Tracy Bridgeford, Kirk St. Amant, 2017-07-05 In the field of technical communication, academics and industry practitioners alike regularly encounter the same question: What exactly is it you do? Their responses often reveal a fundamental difference of perspective on what the field is and how it operates. For example, academics might discuss ideas in terms of rhetorical theory, while practitioners might explain concepts through more practical approaches involving best business practices. And such differences can have important implications for how the field, as a whole, moves forward over time. This collection explores ideas related to forging effective academia-industry relationships and partnerships so members of the field can begin a dialogue designed to foster communication and collaboration among academics and industry practitioners in technical communication. To address the various factors that can affect such interactions, the contributions in this collection represent a broad range of approaches that technical communicators can use to establish effective academy-industry partnerships and relationships in relation to an area of central interest to both: education. The 11 chapters thus present different perspectives on and ideas for achieving this goal. In so doing, the contributors discuss programmatic concerns, workplace contexts, outreach programs, and research and writing. The result is a text that examines different general contexts in which academia-industry relationships and partnerships can be established and maintained. It also provides readers with a reference for exploring such interactions. |
