Kyle Stedman (@kstedman) reads the bad idea "Anyone Can Teach Writing," by Seth Kahn. It's a chapter first published in Bad Ideas about Writing, which was edited by Cheryl E.

Keywords: academic labor, adjunct, contingent, non-tenure-track faculty, writing program administration/administrators, writing studies
