Likes: I like that the authors situated the issues that SoTL come up against both within and parallell to English Studies. Scholar vs. Teacher has been an issue in the field since composition became a course in Harvard and generalist became a dirty word. I also like that interdisciplinary issues of English Studies itself were discussed as it directly relates to the larger interdisciplinary context as well. I also particularly liked the list on page 75. I suppose that the necessity to be both a scholar and a teacher and that they should not be binaries was beat into my well in my MA program because I simply thought it was par for the course.
Confusion:None
More Information: The connections between English Studies and SoTL.
But binaries can be sure useful...ugh, constant struggle between my modern and po-mo nature. LOL
