Episode 7: Toward an Anti-Capitalist Composition with Dr. James Daniel
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
In this episode we discuss Dr. James Daniel's book "Toward an Anti-Capitalist Composition." The book argues that capitalism is responsible for the entangled catastrophes of the twenty-first century, and that it must accordingly become a central focus in the teaching of writing. Daniel calls for an ambitious re-imagining of composition as a discipline opposed to capitalism's excesses.
Dr. Daniel is an Assistant Professor of English and Director of Basic Writing and Assessment in the English Department at Seton Hall University. His research theorizes how the writing classroom can valuably explore issues of precarity, economic inequality, and workers’ rights.
