EDWC writing their talk
It strikes me that one of the reasons we as a class seem to have fewer quibbles with the EDWC (other than the fact that, at the end of the semester we are all "quibbled out") is that the writers walk their talk. They keep their process open for us to examine as we read their reflections. They do not limit themselves to WC or composition scholarship but pull in fascinating insights from other disciplines. The overall read is as if we've been invited to sit at the kitchen table with them and talk about the most recent book they shared and the ideas and activities from their WC, rather than just listening to someone explain how wonderful their WCs or ideas are. I've found myself checking the EDWC works cited list many times to note books that sound like ones I want to read. Their process inspires my process, and that's high praise.
