Abstract Paley wishes to investigate whether, and to what extent, students in an expressivist classroom, where writing is grounded in personal narrative, can and will address social and political issues. [...]she suspects that expressivist pedagogy has fallen victim to becoming the "Other" in composition studies, a shorthand for all that we wanted to leave behind when we focused our work and energy on the social, cultural, and political contexts of writing. [...]Paley sets herself the impressive task of conducting an ethnography of expressivist pedagogy and restoring its credibility as a viable theory of composition. [...]she had insider status in the writing program, sharing goals and concerns with her colleagues, several of whom she visited for her ethnographic study.
