Addressing the Sociocultural-Socioeconomic Dimensions of Graduate Writing Instruction Amidst the "Crisis in Academic Publishing"

This article builds on the author's earlier description of a graduate course in academic publishing [Issues in Writing 9 (1998): 43-65]. Citing student responses to the current course configuration and based on a wide range of interdisciplinary scholarship addressing academic writing and publishing, this work examines the ethical responsibility faculty must adopt in mentoring students who are preparing to go on the academic job market. The appendix includes a 146-entry bibliography of interdisciplinary works addressing scholarly publishing and graduate student writing. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
