Scaffolding the Language of Power in Academia

Edited by Kathryn (Katie) Strom

Scaffolding the Language of Power in Academia is a series of volumes that offers ac-cessible, hands-on, scaffolded guides to developing the skills needed to successfully navigate writing across multiple milieus of academia. The series works from the premise that doctoral level writing is part of the “language of power” in academia and has historically served as an exclusionary mechanism that keeps the doctorate largely white and male. However, it is also a genre that oper¬ates by particular rules, which can be taught in supportive and affirmative ways. The series will include texts for multiple audiences, including textbooks and work¬books for 1) developing academic writing at the masters’ and doctoral level, 2) sup¬porting writing for peer-reviewed publications, and 3) building faculty pedagogical language knowledge and practice for supporting their students’ writing develop¬ment. The series editor, Dr. Kathryn (Katie) Strom, is a Professor of Educational Leader¬ship and Director of the Center for Research on Equity and Collaborative Engage¬ment at California State University, East Bay, as well as Hon. Associate Professor of Curriculum and Pedagogy at University College London. If you wish to have your proposal considered for inclusion in the series, please send a prospectus and your CV to Dr. Strom at kathryn.strom2@csueastbay.edu.
