On today's show, Calvin and Alex analyze the rhetoric and politics of the 2024 presidential election in terms of a particularly significant job this cycle: the vice president, or veep! We begin by discussing Vice President Kamala Harris's meteoric rise to the Democratic nomination following President Biden's departure from the race, as well as Harris's conspicuous similarities to HBO's fictional Veep, Selena Meyer (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus). We then compare and contrast the aesthetics, rhetorical styles, and political stances of Harris's vice presidential nominee and Minnesota governor Tim Walz, and Republican veep nominee and Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance. Along the way, we discuss how the Democratic Party under Harris and Walz is embracing a rhetoric of normalcy vs. “weirdness” that is genuinely novel and effective as a strategy for delegitimizing GOP policy, and how this approach may help to expand the Democratic voting base in response to state-level crises over reproductive justice and public education. We theorize the Dems' normalizing discourse as a way of forthrightly indexing liberal values and connecting to core American ideographs while also positioning themselves as outsiders fighting a noble cause against entrenched GOP power in state governments and the national judiciary. Nevertheless, we conclude on a cautionary note about the dangers of normalization rhetoric, particularly in a country with an ongoing legacy of structural racism and imperialist foreign policy – including the brutal and unresolved conflict in the Gaza Strip.Textual Artifacts AnalyzedHarris-Meyer comparison text:https://youtu.be/72vUngNA9RM?si=izGYEEFsBRjQrlXjWalz artifacts:https://www.msnbc.com/inside-with-jen-psaki/watch/-these-guys-are-weird-gov-walz-blasts-trump-vance-obsession-with-anti-freedom-agenda-215711813835https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ajzMgbGsYVance artifacts:https://x.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1820913476514279744https://x.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1820913478808342571https://x.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1820913483606901062https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/us/politics/read-the-transcript-of-jd-vances-convention-speech.htmlVance RNC speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8TlBHRtrvMVance's TED Talk, “America's Forgotten Working Class”Scholarly Works and Concepts ReferencedKiossev, A.

The performance of a dental team can depend on many factors, but clear communication can make all the difference and should be a priority in a dental practice. In an ideal world, team meetings should be held regularly, but let's face it: it's not easy for everyone to attend. So why not implement a system with clear guidelines for written communication? Written communication is an easy way to improve any team's communication, and allows both professional and practice to record, store, and access notes, instructions, and other written resources. If you want your team to be more productive and successful, you should encourage effective written communication at your dental practice. In this episode, we'll discuss the differences between synchronous and asynchronous communication, the benefits of asynchronous communication, and why dental teams should move toward asynchronous communication. We also talk about the WhatsApp group culture, used as a communication tool nowadays. Insights: - If it's not written it doesn't exist. - Dental practices already communicate asynchronously with their lab, they just need to establish the same protocols of communication in the team. - In the end, being specific is a form of kindness.

Last week, I focused on Verbal Communication Skills to Enhance Promotability; today I'm covering Written Communication Skills. Once again, I want to start with an assessment – these are great questions to ask yourself. From there, I recommend you pick the area that you felt the least confident about and set a 90-day goal for improvement. 1.    How well can I anticipate and predict possible causes for written confusion and miscommunication, and how good am I at dealing with them upfront? 2.    How often do recipients fully understand my messages, emails, or other documents? Do I give enough information and detail? 3.    Can I use communication platforms such as email to quickly and efficiently communicate complex issues? 4.    Do people often misunderstand my messages? Am I often surprised that they don't understand what I have written? Let's review the four steps to the communication process as they apply to written communication: -The words you write (correct word usage, punctuation, context) -What you meant by those words (which is more challenging without visual cues – remember that only 7% of communication is the actual words you use) -The words the receiver reads (the reader's facility with the language, eyesight, communication device i.e. phone, tablet) -What the receiver makes those words mean (experience, cultural differences, their thoughts about you/the subject matter) There are four types of written communication: -Informational – You are conveying information to someone who needs to know that information. No response is required, except perhaps acknowledgment of receipt or any questions.  -Instructional – You are educating someone on something they need to know. Again - no response is required, except perhaps acknowledgment of receipt or any questions.  -Transactional – You are conveying something to someone else, with the expectation of a response. The mistake many people make with this type of communication is not clearly conveying that a response is expected and the nature of that response.  -Persuasive – You are communicating the benefits of a product, service, person, or idea to elicit a specific response, such as buying the product or service or voting for the candidate. This type of communication requires a clear call to action.   Next, let's dig into specific written communication issues you may have and ways to improve. 1.    If you struggle with grammar, spelling, and punctuation: -You may want to take a short course to help you with this.  -Read a lot – it doesn't matter what, as long as it's well written. Pay attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation.  -Do NOT depend on Spell Check. -Take advantage of a tool like Grammarly. -Practice writing. -Read your writing out loud.   2.    If you struggle with clarity and structure in your writing:  -If the message is complex, outline it. -Get to the point. -Determine the best method for conveying this message – should it even be in writing? If so, is it an email, a memorandum, a white sheet?  -Anticipate your reader's questions. -Read out loud. -Ask someone else to read your writing and tell you what they think you're trying to communicate. -Don't over-explain. -Eliminate filler words and phrases in the editing phase.  -Eliminate redundancy (State of Florida, previous experience, final conclusion)  -Go easy on the prepositional phrases (“reflected” instead of “was a reflection of,” “of the results of the quarter” can be changed to “this quarter's results” – which also puts it in active rather than passive voice) -Avoid padding weak words with adverbs (instead of “mostly right” you could write “had excellent points,” instead of “please respond quickly,” try being more specific with a date).  -Take a business writing course – I did in graduate school, and it was one of the best courses in my Master's degree. You can also take a shorter-term course through LinkedIn Learning, for example.  -Get a business writing “mentor” – someone with exceptional written communication skills AND the time and patience to help you develop your skills in this area.   As with last week's episode, let's bring this back around to how to leverage your improvements to increase your promotability.  -Clearly communicate you goal with your boss and ask him/her for any support you need (pay for a course and possible release time, for example) -Regularly communicate your progress with your boss. -Make certain your boss knows you WANT to be promoted – and want to be considered for a promotion at the appropriate time.   If you are a high-achieving professional with the goal of landing in the C-suite, the Highly Promotable coaching program may be just the ticket! This 1:1 program is targeted to strategically leverage one of your strengths to become a signature strength — and move the needle on one of your developmental areas so it becomes a strength.  This is a four-figure investment in your professional future! If this sounds like just what you need, schedule a complimentary introductory call to determine if you are a fit for Highly Promotable:  https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/highly-promotable-introductory-call

This episode I speak with Brian Bowman, learning strategist, capability expert and digital learning guru in Australia Pacific on how a leader can have a career conversation with their direct reports. When my company, Brainpower Training, won a tender to deliver customized Report Writing for Audit workshops in multiple cities for one of Australia's largest banks, Brian Bowman held a People and Culture role at that bank. We worked together closely to roll out those Report Writing programs. TALKING POINTS [6:40] So the career conversation for the leader is actually themselves having to step out of the day-to-day and ask, “Where do you want to go?” [7:30] Good questions to ask . . . “What brings you joy?” Because it gets people to think about, “When I'm in flow, when I'm really enjoying work, this is what I'm doing.” ”What are you drawn to?” is another really great question. People will naturally gravitate across their work day to things they really love and enjoy doing. You can ask people, “What do you want to do at work?” [11:00] The joy question can be offset with, “What do you hate doing?” It's such a brilliant way of exploring that career conversation. [13:00] Careers aren't linear, they might do a bit over here or something there. [14:00] People have different stages of their career. There might be a 3-year cycle. Charles Handy talks about the Sigmoid Curve, the S-curve. [15:46] Don't wait for someone's motivation to wane; change before you have to, always give a sense of progression to people in their career. To re-motivate people, start a second curve, [16:44] It's an interesting conundrum for leaders, how do I help people grow and drive their career? I want to retain and deliver great work across an organization but training people up might make them leave. [18:19] In the future it's helping people translate their impact in their career where they've been and what they would also bring to that next cycle of impact. [19:16] Younger people might ask for a promotion or more money, but maybe they haven't sailed in the storm yet. They say things like, “I do the same work as . . .” another. "Well, the other has 15 years' experience and hoisted the sails in the storm and survived and sailed it. Yes, you are doing the same job. But I know if something went wrong, they'll manage it appropriately." [21:10] Gallup strengths and the top 5. === ABOUT BRIAN BOWMAN Contact Brian Bowman via LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbowman2/ ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@manageselfleadotherspodcast?sub_confirmation=1   Connect Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/ You can suggest a guest, ask a question, make a comment.   To subscribe to Nina Sunday's personal blog go to https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/ To register, scroll form at bottom of page.   Nina Sunday's training company website: https://www.brainpowertraining.com.au/signature-programs/ delivering people skills programs face-to-face, Australia-wide on: Leadership, Change, Productivity, Written Communication, Customer Service . . . and more.

Leaders harnessing the essence of appreciation are rewarded with higher engagement and trust. My guest, Avi Liran, has spent a decade researching Appreciation. Fascinated by the power of positivity and ability of words and tone to transform, Avi Liran is a super optimist believing in igniting inner joy, in people's lives and experiences. Avi says, “In my workshop, we work a few hours on Appreciation. Each person writes on an envelope the date, they sign, they write their own name on the envelope, and then they put the envelope to the right, and they get another envelope with the name of another person. And then they write for the next person how much they appreciate them, as many things as possible. And when they receive it, I ask them 2 questions. One question is, “How do you feel?” And the second question, “What surprised you?” Nina, you would be amazed how many people are totally surprised that other people appreciate them. They never knew how much people appreciate them. They thought they were transparent; and that's wrong, because people do appreciate people.

In this conversation Judith Germain speaks to Rob Ashton about written communication and how it affects our decisions. He researched the science of written communication and shares that his company has trained over 80,000 people since its inception. Rob explains that the science of written communication has taken him 6 years (so far) to research deeply as there are so many different branches of science that need to be considered. Unusually Rob advises that we must stop thinking of the brain as a computer, as the brain assimilates data very differently and is amazingly complicated. To be able to write we need to rewire the brain to do this effectively. For example, our hearing is involved when we are reading! Rob talks about how we are compelled to think in stories. Rob is a writer, and a former research scientist and editor. For the last six years, he's been on a quest to discover the science of how the words we read and write affect what we think and do. Listen to this conversation and discover how to use written communication to engage others and how a lack of confidence leads to over writing. This is a fascinating conversation, full of real examples and insights, on how we use our brains. Learn how to free up your listener's brain power so they can take in what you are trying to communicate. ------- Maverick leadership is all about thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo.

Time. It's simple but it is so important. Leaders have the unique ability to control their time. That's why it's so important to replace 'I didn't have time' to 'that project wasn't a priority'. Then sit back and reflect on what else you prioritized instead. Then reflect on whether you truly have your priorities straight.On today's episode, author and speaker Ash Davis joins host Bo McDonald. With failing health, Ash's father decided he wanted to write letters to various people who played important roles in his life. Those letters were eventually turned into Ash's book, A Life Through Letters. Today, Ash discusses the importance of time and finding out what priorities are important.Time Stamps:[1:25] - Leaders have the unique ability to be able to control their time.[2:00] - Instead of saying "I didn't have time" say "that wasn't a priority" then reflect on what you did instead.[5:20] - Ash introduces himself and tells us about his professional background.[7:00] - Bo recounts how he and Ash met.[8:00] - With his health failing and wanting to recap his life, Ash's father wrote letters to various people in his life.[14:00] - Young leaders should find people who speak the truth even when they don't want to hear it.[14:20] - The first letter in Ash's book, A Life Through Letters, is to a man nicknamed Stone Man.[17:00] - A lesson about empathy can be learned from the letter to the Stone Man.[19:30] - As we all age our perspective of each other changes.[21:31] - Ash reflects on which letter from his book is his favorite.[25:00] - Many readers have told Ash that his book has inspired them to write letters to people in their life.[28:15] - In a digital world, writing a letter can seem so permanent and the fear of making a mistake can scare people into not starting. [32:42] Ash wraps up with how to find him online.Links:A Life Through Letters by Ash DavisAsh's website: A Life Through LettersAsh's Ted Talk: The Power of Written Communication in a Technological Age

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  We are so glad you're joining us.  If you like what you hear, please visit us at Velociteach.com, where you can leave a comment on our Manage This Podcast page.  I'm Wendy Grounds, and joining me is Bill Yates.  Today we're very excited about our guest.  We've never really talked about written communication.  Rob Ashton has a very interesting background.  He's actually been in science and research.  And because of that he got into the process of reading and writing because of writing scientific reports and research papers.  But he has a very unique perspective on why so much of our written communication just doesn't work. BILL YATES:  That's true.  Now we're in a remote workforce more so than ever.  So many of us are working virtually.  So what do you do?  You pop open Slack.  You pop open Skype.  And you pop open Teams.  And you just instant message with your team back and forth, back and forth.  Which many times that's totally appropriate.  I think as Rob will get into, we have a number of different tools at our disposal.  You've got to pick the right tool for the right message, or you're going to get into trouble. WENDY GROUNDS:  Right, right.  I'm excited to talk to Rob.  A little bit about him before we get there is he's the founder of a global learning company called Emphasis, which specializes in written communication.  Some of his high-profile clients have been Big 4 accounting firms, big tech, big pharma.  He's also done some work with the U.K. Prime Minister's office at 10 Downing Street, and even the royal household at Buckingham Palace.  So we're in good company. BILL YATES:  Yes.  WENDY GROUNDS:  Hi, Rob.  Welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for joining us today. ROB ASHTON:  Hey, it's great to be here.  Thanks for inviting me. Rob's Background Story WENDY GROUNDS:  Rob, before we get into our conversation on written communication, can you tell us how you got into this field and what your background is? ROB ASHTON:  I started off as a research scientist before a love of words led me into publishing.  So originally trained as an editor.  And I did that for a while, and I found that I guess I just got a little tired of applying the same techniques again and again to the words I was trying to knock into shape.  And I decided that instead of doing that, I would go and teach people to do it.  So I set up a training company to do that, and that was called Emphasis.  And that was 23 years ago. And then six years ago I decided that I would go back to my roots, and I would start to look at the science of this because there's very little out there on the science of written communication, or at least in the business world.  There's a ton of stuff out there in the academic world,

In this episode, she shares advice on the value of written communication, why it's important to continue developing virtual presentation skills, and more.

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Writing is a key skill every entrepreneur should have. Email, social media, website copy, and more, all rely upon good communication. Here are some key points to remember: It's not about you, it's about your reader and what this will do for them. Write the way you talk in a normal, conversational tone. Summarize your message in just one or two sentences.   If you can't sum it up, then you don't have a clear message to communicate. Gain clarity on your message then rewrite it. Avoid the story format as it takes longer and buries the lead. Write it once, and then review and rewrite it several times.  Remove adverbs and other extraneous words. Use numbers where possible as it makes the message stronger and more compelling. Writing takes practice and is a skill that will help you greatly in your fundraise. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let's go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out   For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group   Music courtesy of

This episode features an interview with John R. Gallagher conducted by guest interviewer Sarah Riddick. The interview focuses on Gallagher's 2020 book Update Culture and the Afterlife of Digital Writing. Gallagher and Riddick discuss the labor and upkeep involved in the digital writing practices of journalists, Amazon reviewers, and redditors, the methods and questions that inform Gallagher's work, and that work's implications for scholarly writing. John Gallagher is an assistant professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. He studies interfaces, digital rhetoric, participatory audiences, and technical communication. He has been published in Computers and Composition, enculturation, Rhetoric Review, Transformations, Technical Communication Quarterly, and Written Communication. In addition to Update Culture, he co-edited a 77-chapter collection with Dánielle Nicole DeVoss titled Explanation Points: Publishing in Rhetoric and Composition. As he mentions in the episode, he's also part of a team working on a National Science Foundation grant entitled "Advancing Adaptation of Writing Pedagogies for Undergraduate STEM Education Through Transdisciplinary Action Research." Sarah Riddick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Humanities and Arts at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where she directs the degree-granting Professional Writing program and teaches courses about rhetoric and writing. Her research focuses on the intersections of rhetorical theory, digital rhetoric and cultures, and emergent media. She is currently exploring how social media offers new methodological and pedagogical opportunities for rhetorical studies, with a particular emphasis on how online audience engagement can inform and enhance methodological approaches to rhetorical audience studies and digital rhetorics. This episode features a clip from YACHT's "The Afterlife (Instrumental)."

NUGGET CONTEXT Bill speaks about how Amazon uses written word as a source of differentiation and a competitive advantage. He speaks about how meetings are run in Amazon and the impact on productivity and effectiveness when people submit written documents. He also speaks about the PR/FAQ process which, in a way, is the backbone of the Working Backwards culture at Amazon. GUEST Bill Carr is the Co-Author (along with Colin Bryar) of the recently published book Working Backwards - Insights, Stories and Secrets from Inside Amazon.  In Working Backwards, these two long-serving Amazon executives reveal and codify the principles and practices that drive the success of one of the most extraordinary companies the world has ever known. With twenty-seven years of Amazon experience between them, much of it in the early 2000s―a period of unmatched innovation that brought products and services including Kindle, Amazon Prime, Amazon Studios, and Amazon Web Services to life. The book offers unprecedented access to the Amazon way as it was refined, articulated, and proven to be repeatable, scalable, and adaptable. The book demonstrates that success on Amazon’s scale is not achieved by the genius of any single leader, but rather through commitment to and execution of a set of well-defined, rigorously-executed principles and practices. In our conversation, we first spoke about some of the distinctive elements of Jeff Bezos’s leadership before getting into some of the elements at Amazon that have turned it into a value creation juggernaut over the years.  Published in April 2021.

Here is a list of the best business, sales, and personal advice that myself and the Big Red M employees have ever received.           Hello and welcome to JP Moery’s Association Hustle Podcast. President of The Moery Company, JP’s mission is to arm today’s associations with insight and strategy to thrive and a progressively complex and competitive business landscape. 21st century associations must move forward with a little bit of hustle and revenue development at their core. Here’s JP. It is great to be with you today. The topic today is the best advice I have ever received. I had a great discussion with our team the other day, and I'm going to give you some of their thoughts. At the very end, I'll add some of my special spice to the topic. I'm going to break this down into two areas. One is sales and marketing advice that our team has received over the years. The second one is more about things like productivity and personal preparation. Sales and Marketing Advice The best way to listen is to take notes. Silences are okay. In fact, after you put the price out there and the big part of the value proposition shut up and be quiet. Oftentimes, the next guy that talks loses. It is also important to make sure to smile, especially when you're on the phone. A lot of us have gone through training where they recommend having a mirror for you to look into and smile as you speak on the phone. It's a great tactic. Although it may make you uncomfortable or seem corny, it's not a bad idea. During negotiations, identify what the most important thing is to the other party and what's the most important thing to you. Sometimes you can give things away or offer things in negotiation that aren't really that important to you. Establish a Meaningful Network I've seen this before, when I've looked to hire someone in sales for an example. I go on to their LinkedIn profile, and they have less than 100 connections. Why would I want to connect with someone that doesn't really care to know people? I'm not sure they would be a very good salesperson if they're not interested in other individuals. Address Problems Right Away Frankly, nothing gets better over time. Crises are often problems that were just delayed and delayed continuously. When a problem is formulating, phone first. Don't hide behind email. The true urgency intent is often lost during digital communications. It's All About the Prospect and Preparation When talking to prospects or costumers, discuss solutions rather than the services that you provide. So many times in the association space, for example, I see where it's all about the association and the committees and what they do. That does not really demonstrate how we help our members save money, make money, or save them time. Prepare and research calls in advance. Never wing it, especially in sales and interviews. This advice was actually offered by my college daughter who's going through the interview process. She always prepares for the interviews. One time, she listened to an interview that I was having with someone. Clearly this person was a professional and they'd been in this game for years, but they didn't know me from the man on the moon. That's not against me, that's more on them. You want me to help you, you want me to hire you. And clearly you don't even know what we do as a company. Written Communication and Proactivity Deliver the message in the first and second sentence and then support it through the rest of the document. Very important as people are reading things in mobile, and reading emails. If you get up and you let everybody take your time, your priorities are not going to be addressed. And often that's because you're not proactive and you haven't determined what your primary goals are. Progress Over Perfection Eat an elephant one bite at a time and perform one activity so you can keep moving forward. And remember, you probably had the experience,

In this episode, Josh and Andrea sit down with Dave Ross (@DavidPBLRoss), a Global Education Consultant to discuss what we are calling "21st Century Skills." What are they? How do we integrate them into our curriculum? And most importantly, how do we assess them? In this installment of the series on assessment in PBL, our hosts and their guest address just that. To start they define 21st century skills and discuss why it is so important to integrate these into curriculum and assess them. Then they talk about 21st century skills within the context of the PBL classroom and what it looks like to weave this assessment within the PBL framework.  They then discuss how to find the balance of assessing 21st century skills and classroom content, and how to design a project to elicit particular skills.

James Schramko here. Today, I want to share with you a tool that I use and I know some members of my team use to have better communication. Maybe you're not a great typist, maybe you can't spell very well, but the good news is there are tools and one is called Grammarly, and it sits in your computer browser. I use a Chrome extension and it will help correct or make suggestions as I type. And you can use the free version and it's just fine. As you type, if the word's not quite right, it will suggest the correct version and you can just click on it and it will replace it. This is a great tool to use if you're posting in forums or on social media or sending emails because even if it's not your first skill, spelling, at least you'll come across as reasonably professional even though that people who obsess too much about spelling usually are very flawed in some other area but it doesn't hurt to have a good minimum standard. I've been using Grammarly this year after seeing one of my team members use it, and it really is an easy tool to use, and it will get you great results. See our products HERE

Written communication is a significant part of how we work in business.  It is obvious when you look at how much of an MBA program includes writing.  Many companies even push business writing classes as part of their employee training. Let Us Count The Ways We write emails every day.  This is an excellent place to work on writing fundamentals.  These include spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and even flow.  Short form platforms like Twitter and text messages use a form of shorthand and do not emphasize spelling or grammar,  Nevertheless, try to stick to proper writing standards with these where possible.  It will serve as challenging practice to try to maintain these skills.  There will also be a marked difference in your communications when they are professional looking among a flurry of less than stellar notes.   Practice, Practice, Practice The more you work on a task, the better you get.  Writing is no different.  You may want to rely on how much writing you do in your job to improve your skills.  This is not the best approach.  Your practice should push your skills and stretch your topics.  This approach will not only help your ability to communicate; it can lead to a side hustle or new career paths.

We introduce the re:verb podcast, its hosts (Calvin Pollak and Alex Helberg), and we explain the project's genealogy as a descendant of The Silver Tongue, a rhetorical criticism blog founded by Doug Cloud, Hilary Franklin, Alexis Teagarden and Matt Zebrowski in 2010.

James Berlin     Welcome to MR. I’m Mary Hedengren, Jacob is in the Booth and we’re supported by the Humanities Media Project and UT Austin.   Was English in an identity crisis in the 80s and 90s? Maybe. But it’s certain that it thought it was. Interdisciplinary projects such as cultural studies and the voluntary expulsion of groups like English language and composition from English departments was inspiring a lot of ink in the PMLA and other journals and conferences between such illuminaries as Gerald Graff and Stanley Fish. And when people are anxious about who they are, they often look back to how they ended up here. How did English get so weird? What is the background behind composition’s complaints against literary studies? What led to everyone in the department being in a department together?   Enter Professor James Berlin. Berlin, a compositionist who had taught at U of Cinninati and Purdue. Berlin was a disciplinary historian who wrote two important books that tried to create a historical context for the current state of composition, which we’ll talk about today. Rhetoric and Reality: Writing Instruction in American Colleges. 1900-1985. Carbondale: Southern Illinois UP, 1987. Writing Instruction in Nineteenth-Century American Colleges. The earlier book, Writing Instruction in 19th-Century American Colleges published in 1984, traces the role of writing instruction in American political psyche. “no rhetoric—not Plato’s or Aris­totle’s or Quintilian’s or Perelman’s—is permanent.”     The next major book Berlin wrote picks up where Writing Instruction in Nineteenth-Century American Colleges. Left off—at the dawn of the 20th century. Rhetoric and Reality: Writing Instruction in American Colleges. 1900-1985 traces the history of composition in the United States up to what was then the modern day. In going through this history, though, Berlin weaves three strands of compositional theory: current-traditional, expressivist and social constructionist. Berlin makes no secret about which of these strands he thinks is right. Current traditionalists are grammar-obsessed ninnies who sneer at students while pushing their glasses up their noses while expressivists are berkinstocked hippies singing kumbaya without teaching anything significant. Berlin is unapologetic about his perspective. In the introduction, he mentions the criticism the book has received as having a political project. James Berlin, much like the honey badger, don’t care. He has a strong interest in the project to "vindicate the position of writing instruction in the college curriculum" (1) and he feels social constructionism is the best way to do so. He identifies several points that lead to writing instruction’s increased disciplinarity First there was the Birth of CCCC when a 1948 paper by George S. Wykoff and ensuing conflict leads to John Gerber of U of Iowa proposing a conference to discuss composition. 500 attend April 1-2 1949 (105). "With the establishment of the CCCC and its journal [...] teachers of freshman composition took a giant step toward qualifying for full membership in the English department, with the attendant privileges" (106)   Then there is the Importance of pamphlet The Basic Issues in the Teaching of English published as a supplement to College English in 1959. Identify key questions for English, especially in pedagogy (such as should writing "be taught as expression or as communication") (Berlin 124).   Finally there was Braddock's 1961   Research in Written Communication and subsequent founding of Research in the Teaching of English (1967) is important because "Only a discipline confident of its value and its future could allow this kind of harsh scrutiny" (135). Lit studies "have appropriated as their domain all uses of langauge except the narrowly refertial and logical. What remains [...] is given to rhetoric, to the writing course" (30).   In the early 20th century, universities were becoming dominated by sciences and practical arts. Objective philosophies ruled. Current-traditional is the most vehement and widely accepted of the objective rhetorics, but behaviorist, semanticist and linguistic rhetorics are also put into this category (9). As Berlin puts it: "The new university invested its graduates with the authority of science and through this authority gave them an economically comfortable position in a new, prosperous middle-class culture" (36)   On the other extreme of things was expressionist writing "the teacher cannot even instruct the student in the principles of writing, since writing is inextricably intertwined with the discovery of truth. The student can discover truth, but truth cannot be taught; the student can learn to write, but writing cannot be taught. The only strategy left, then is to provide an environment in which the individual can learn what cannot be taught" (13).   Berlin describes that, "For the proponents of liberal culture, the purpose of the English teacher was to cultivate the exceptional students, the geniuses, and, at the most, to tolerate all others" (72). For expressionists "writing--all writing--is art. This means that writing can be learned by not taught" (74). How many times do we hear that? That you just need to ponder a little, get a little older and then you’ll pick up what you need to? This is still kind of the philosophy in many Eastern Hemisphere universities where writing instruction hasn’t taken off as much. And it exists here, too, even in our own departments.   The method of expressionist teaching will be familiar to those in creative writing :"Most important was that the students read all papers aloud to the entire class and were given immediate responses [...] the teacher did not lecture but acted instead  as an ad-[83]ditional respondant" (84). For more about expressionism and what influence it had on rhetoric and composition, check out our previous podcast on expressivism. Berlin’s last book Rhetorics, Poetics and Cultures was also a disciplinary project--reconciling composition (production) with literary studies (interpretation) by way of cultural studies--may seem a little dated to the 90s, which its heady enthrallment with cross-disciplinary cultural studies and post-modernity everywhere as specter and savior. He argues that English should reunite rhetoric and literary studies around text interpretation and production-not one or the other exclusively. He doesn’t just argue in theory but sets out his own class as an example of how to integrate textual production and analysis with general cultural studies. He emphatically defends the use of popular culture in the classroom and meeting students with the knowledge the already have. James Berlin died suddenly of a heart attack while he was still in the middle of career, but his influence is found all around the composition world. For example, the CCCC award for best dissertation is called the James Berlin award, and I think that’s fitting, considering how the establishment of a phd in composition has been such a benchmark in composition’s disciplinarity. Are we at a better place in terms of disciplinary security than we were in the 80s and 90s? I think so. I also think that part o the reason why is James Berlin’s impassioned disciplinary research and fervent argumentation.
