Dissertation
My dissertation looks to the martial arts training practices to engage with some fundamental and intractable problems of writing instruction: grammar and syntax, assignments and genre, peer review, and argumentation. I argue for a new agonistic approach to rhetoric as a martial art requiring honor, discipline, and respect: ethical training in violence for non-violent ends.
