This book offers composition teachers and administrators theory, models, and examples for using public pedagogy, defined her as pedagogies that encourage students to apply analysis, critical thinking, composition, and publication in local, public places. The book begins by comparing various theories of public pedagogy, then focuses on pedagogies that encourage students learn, teach, and apply knowledge beyond the classroom walls. Three case studies describe an interdisciplinary first-year seminar at Oberlin College, where students gather oral histories and environmental information; a program at Syracuse University in which students engage with on-campus communities; and a project at the University of Arizona that asks students to visit local, public spaces to observe and critique spatial inequalities.
