the ever-evolving map

A note about the theory/pedagogy map as it stands tonight:

After working through Miller and Bazzerman (notes forthcoming), I have a cluster of theories (Genre, Action, Language, and Social Constructionism) surrounding what I perceive are Technical Communication's core pedagogies: Collaborative, Process, WAC, and Computers & Writing / Writing with Technology.

This is my view -- and my biases.

Outlier pedagogies (Transactional pedagogies) that serve to shape the core and emerge in various instructional spaces in the Composition and Technical Communication classrooms include Rhetorical, Expressivist, and Radical (Feminist, Marxist, Dissensus, etc.).
