The Third Turn Toward the Social: Nancy Welch’s Living Room , Tony Scott’s Dangerous Writing , and Rhetoric and Composition’s Turn toward Grassroots Political Activism

Kelly Kinney, Thomas Girshin, and Barrett Bowlin

Abstract

This review essay examines recent texts by Nancy Welch and Tony Scott, both of which use embodied activism as a starting point for their inquiries. Taken together, these works point to a distinct shift in composition studies’ turn toward the social, one that calls on workers both within and outside the academy to actively engage in grassroots political struggle.
