Staci Perryman-Clark Publishes Article in _Composition Forum_
Composition Forum 20, Summer 2009
http://compositionforum.com/issue/20/
Abstract: Using the African American women’s intellectual tradition as a framework, this essay investigates a special topics graduate-level course design. It also positions the special topics course as an enabling sight for revising how graduate courses are commonly designed in rhetoric and composition. Through the study of Black women’s intellectual tradition, the author emphasizes a focus on the intellectual processes, including an understanding of the pedagogies and research methodologies that Black women explore.
