Schroeder is devoted, then, to developing literacies together with scholars, and through doing as a way to carry scholars to interact extra deeply with schooling and society.

ReInventing the college is a longer dialogue of why Schroeder feels this can be important, how he attempts to build literacies that experience legitimacy with scholars, and what his stories may possibly suggest for school rooms, departments, and disciplines.

A hard, step forward publication ReInventing the collage articulates a brand new regular during which pedagogy in composition needs to now be considered.
