Kathleen Dixon's 'Making Relationships: Gender in the Forming of Academic Community' is a lively exploration of the complexities of gendering within composition studies. Arguing against the reductiveness of feminist approaches rooted exclusively in expressionist composition and Anglo-American cultural feminism on the one hand or in constructivist and post-structuralist composition and feminism on the other, Dixon calls for a positioning of these two approaches so as to allow for their interanimation. Dixon's work takes feminist composition in a much-needed new direction. (Elizabeth Flynn, Michigan Technological University) In this conscientious study of the workings of gender in the student-teacher conference, Kathleen Dixon carries out a refreshingly honest and self-reflective exploration of what we say and do to each other as gendered teachers and students of composition. (Susan Jarratt, Miami University of Ohio)
