Fields of Play : Constructing an Academic Life

How do the specific circumstances in which we write affect what we write? How does what we write affect who we become? How can we maintain professsional and personal integrity in today's university? In a series of traditional and experimental writings, a culmination of ten years of works-in-progress, Laurel Richardson records an intellectual journey, displacing boundaries and creating new ways of reading and writing. Applying the sociological imagination to the writing process, she connects her life to her work. Deeply engaging, movingly written with grace, elegance, and clarity, the book stimulates readers to situate their own writing in personal, social, and political contexts.Author: Laurel Richardson,author Contributors: Laurel Richardson,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 1 Feb 1997 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Rutgers University Press Author/Director/Artist: Laurel Richardson Dimension (cm): 229x152x18 mm Package Dimension (cm): 18x230x151 mm Item Weight (g): 431 Package Weight (g): 430
