Reviews

Policy Regimes is a powerful argument for focusing on the ways that policy and writing studies do--and can--shape one another. It is invaluable for anyone who wants to understand how policy shapes our teaching lives and how to make thoughtful, meaningful change in writing education. --Ryan Skinnell, author of Conceding Composition: A Crooked History of Composition's Institutional Fortunes Through his astute analyses of archival material, contemporary public documents, and classroom encounters, Tyler S. Branson shows us, in a way we've never seen before, how writing policy is promulgated, enforced, challenged, engaged, and lived. Without giving easy answers, Branson deepens our understanding of how writing policy works and how we might, in turn, work policy. This important book will be widely read by scholars and teachers in writing studies, education, and policy studies. --Chris W. Gallagher, author of College Made Whole: Integrative Learning for a Divided World In dialogue not only with historical documents but also with the scholars who have interpreted those events and documents, Branson makes clear what his contribution adds at each step. This book provides a profoundly useful new frame for thinking about the successes and challenges of education reform in writing, and helps us to deepen our understanding of past successes and failures as we strategize for the future. --Amy J. Lueck, author of A Shared History: Writing in the High School, College, and University, 1856-1886
