  1. I've been meaning to throw my thoughts out on the list, sorry!

    The Flower book is "Learning to Rival".

    I really dig this list and can't wait to get into it. I'm wondering if maybe we pull, here and there, some of the most recent articles from C's and Composition studies, to see how our sphere (democratic, radical, student-centered, critical pedagogy) is interacting with what our discipline is saying is cutting-edge or at the forefront.
