Research Design in Rhetoric and Writing
Bibliography
Bibliography
The purpose of this bibliography is simply to gather resources relevant to the study of research methods and methodologies in rhetoric and composition/writing studies. In addition to this collecting and sharing function, the list is presented here to emphasize our study as--at best--a modest and somewhat thin slice. Specific research projects may gain provisional roothold through survey-like studies of methods and methodologies, but as substantial, year(s)-long research projects bloom, so too do their methods and methodologies take on layers, volume, depth, and dimension. Let this serve as a (fingers-crossed) sufficient start. -DM
