{"product_id":"9780791485279","title":"Identity Matters: Schooling the Student Body in Academic Discourse","description":"Identity Matters explores the question that consistently plagues composition teachers: why do their pedagogies so often fail? Donna LeCourt suggests that the answer may lie with the very identities, values, and modes of expression higher education cultivates. In a book that does precisely what it theorizes, LeCourt analyzes student-written literacy autobiographies to examine how students interact with and challenge cultural theories of identity. This analysis demonstrates that writing instruction does, indeed, matter and has a significant influence on how students imagine their potential in both academic and cultural realms. LeCourt paints not only a compelling and vexing picture of how students interact with academic discourse as both mind and body, but also offers hope for a reconceived pedagogy of social-material writing practice.","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077759058160,"sku":"9780791485279","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780791485279_p0.jpg?v=1763667430","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780791485279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
