Review Electronic Writing Centers: Computing In the Field of Composition (New Directions in Computers and Composition) / Ablex Publishing:This book describes the emerging practice of e-mail tutoring; one-to-one correspondence between college students and writing tutors conducted over electronic mail. It reviews the history of Composition Studies, paying special attention to those ways in which writing centers and computers and composition have been previously hailed within a narrative of functional literacy and quick-fix solutions. The author suggests a new methodology for tutoring, and a new mandate for the writing center: a strong connection between the rhythms of extended, asynchronous writing and dialogic literacy. The electronic writing center can become a site for informed resistance to functional literacy.

Review Reconstructing Institutions: Language Use in Academic Counseling Encounters (Advances in Discourse Processes) / Ablex Publishing:This book examines the use of language in face-to-face encounters between some university students and their academic counselors. It describes the role language plays in shaping institutional role identities, in accomplishing institutional tasks and activities, and in constituting associated knowledge and affective stances. It documents how the academic counselors and student clients do what they do through grammatical and interactional details. Put more generally, it investigates how certain aspects of institutional life are lived linguistically. Methodologically, this book focuses on specific lexicogrammatical forms, turns, sequences, and narrative episodes which constitute the seemingly routine, ordinary life of academic counseling. It relies on detailed transcripts from audio and video recordings of naturally occurring academic counseling activities, knowledge gained from participant observation, field notes and interview data to advance a tripartite approach to researching institutional discourse.

Review Southeast Asian Families and Pooled Labor : Multiple Wage-Earner Strategies for Refugee Households in the U.S. (Garland Studies in the History of American Labor) / Routledge:This book analyzes family work strategies among Southeast Asian refugees who entered the United States between 1989 and 1994. Increasing the number of multiple wage-earners in refugee households has been an important focal point of American policy for promoting refugee self-sufficiency. Research indicates the importance of adult children among refugee households, as either secondary earners or alternative wage-earners to the unemployed heads of the household. Their labor force participation and employment rates are higher than those of household heads. These findings are most striking for refugee households which contain unmarried adult children, indicating impressive economic contributions of extended families or non-nuclear family members. Findings also indicate that fewer children in the household, a larger portion of English-fluent household members, and initial placement outside California are all significantly related to the incidence of multiple wage-earners in Southeast Asian refugee households. The absence of children and the proportion of English-fluent household members are more significant in generating additional wage-earners than in producing one earner in the household.
