“This project aims to honor the work of a colleague who attempted to bridge serious gaps within English studies—between the study of literature and the study of writing, between the consumption and production of texts—and it does so admirably while deftly using Scholes’s work to magnify the issues of our day.”
—Howard Tinberg, Bristol Community College
In this volume, Scholes’s scholarship is included alongside original essays, providing a resource for those considering everything from the place of the English major in the twenty-first century to best practices for helping students navigate misinformation and disinformation. Reading and Writing Instruction in the Twenty-First Century not only keeps Scholes’s legacy alive but carries it on through a commitment, in Scholes’s own words, to “offer our students . . . the cultural equipment they are going to need when they leave us.”
