[Xmca-l] Re: Development of adults

[Charles Bazerman]

There have been a number of studies about adult writing development
intersecting with other kinds of identity, emotional, civic and
professional development. Deborah Brandt's two books based on retrospective
interviews, Literacy in American Lives and The Rise of Writing, are good
places to start.  David Barton's ethnographic studies in the UK are also
important.  Many others have followed, including studies by Kate Vieira who
focuses on immigrants, documentation, and community life.
