Inhoudsopgave:
This book takes a philosophical approach to the question âwhat is academic writing?â and specifically explores the question of how academic writing and writing development can be better understood and developed by lecturers in higher education. It examines how a number of interconnected and interdisciplinary political, linguistic, discursive, ontological and epistemological frameworks can be used to inform a âpost-qualitativeâ approach for research into higher education academic writing practices, employing a Bourdusian/ Deluzean inspired approach. Using lecturersâ own perceptions and experiences of academic writing, and treating them as part of a âprofessional academic writing in higher education habitusâ, the book illustrates and analyses a number of ideas and concepts through a broadly post-qualitative paradigm. It also offers a number of innovative academic writing and writing development practices. Offering an in-depth discussion into how lecturers might better negotiate academic writing practices and use their own academic writing experiences to develop studentsâ writing, this book will be highly relevant to academics, scholars and post-graduate students working in higher education. |
