Using the rhetorical experiences of students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and\/or transgender, she proposes a new way of thinking about ethos that addresses the challenges of social justice, identity, and transfer issues in the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoncalves offers an innovative approach to teaching identity performance theory bound by social contexts. She applies this new approach to theories of specificity and intersectionality, illustrating how teachers can help students redefine the relationship between their social identities and their writing. She also addresses bringing social activism and identity politics into the classroom, helping writers make transfers across rhetorical contexts and linking students' interests to public conversations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheoretical and practical,\u003ci\u003e Sexuality and the Politics of Ethos in the Writing Classroom\u003c\/i\u003e provides teachers of first-year and advanced composition studies with useful, detailed assignments based in specific identity performance.
