Gender BibliographyAtwood, Johanna W. “Collaborative Writing: The ‘Other’ Game in Town.” The Writing Instructor 12.1 (1992): 13–25.
Atwood presents collaboration as an alternative to the traditional (masculine) teacher-centered classroom. This may open a space for women, but she doesn’t see collaboration as a miracle cure.
Ferganchick-Neufang, Julia. “Reconciling Writing Differences: Collaboration/Gender Characteristics.” TETYC 21.3 (1993): 194–203.
Ferganchick-Neufang studies her basic writing class and finds, to her pleasure, that gender didn’t seem to be a determining factor in group leadership.
Fox, Thomas. “Race and Gender in Collaborative Learning.” Writing With: New Directions in Collaborative Teaching, Learning, and Research. Ed. Sally Barr Reagan, Thomas Fox, and David Bleich. Albany, NY: SUNY P, 1994. 111–22.
Fox looks at both race and gender as they influence relationships in collaborative learning. He focuses primarily on the negative experiences that may ensue.
Lay, Mary M. “The Androgynous Collaborator: The Impact of Gender Studies on Collaboration.” New Visions of Collaborative Writing. Ed. Janis Forman. Portsmouth, NH: Boynton/Cook, 1992. 82–104.
Lay argues that in collaboration there is room to, in some way, put off gender. However,
traditional group structures (with leaders) may lead to masculine identities. Lunsford, Andrea A., and Lisa Ede. “Rhetoric in a New Key: Women and Collaboration.” Rhetoric Review 8.2 (1990): 234–241.
Lunsford and Ede describe two forms of collaboration: hierarchical and dialogic. They praise dialogic as a great form—especially for women.
Morgan, Meg. “Women as Emergent Leaders in Student Collaborative Writing Groups.” Journal of Advanced Composition 14.1 (Winter 1994): 203–20.
Morgan looks at how female leadership emerges in assigned groups. Although women frequently
assume leadership roles, others generally do not recognize these roles while men in leadership roles are accorded leadership status. |
