Joining the Dialogue: Practices for Ethical Research Writing

By Bettina Stumm

Book Overview

Joining the Dialogueoffers an exciting new approach for teaching academic research writing to introductory students by drawing on communication ethics. Holding to the current view that academic writing means situating ourselves in a research community and learning how to join the research conversations going on around us, Joining the Dialogueproposes that how we engage in dialogue with other researchers in our community matters. We not only read, acknowledge, and build on the research of others as we compose our work; we also engage openly, attentively, critically, and responsively to their ideas as we articulate our own. With this in mind, Joining the Dialogueis geared to helping students discover the key ethical practices of dialogue--receptivity and response-ability--as they join a research conversation. It also helps students master the dialogic structure of research essays as they write in and for their academic communities. Combining an ethical approach with accessible prose, dialogic structures and templates, practical exercises, and ample illustrations from across the disciplines, Joining the Dialogueteaches students not only how to write research essays but also how to write those essays ethically as a dialogue with other researchers and readers.
