Writing studies research in practice: methods and methodologies

"Editors Nickoson and Sheridan gather twenty chapters from leading writing researchers working at various intersections within the field. Each chapter addresses a different subject, enabling the volume to investigate a range of methods and methodologies - old and new - and examine the ways in which contemporary writing research is understood, practiced, and represented.
