Contextualism
Increasingly I find myself an advocate of contextualist historiography, especially (at least) in comp/rhet, in whose histories "context" has too often meant little more than passing references to the Morrill Acts or to the German research university model. So it's heartening to encounter over H-RHETOR a link to this rich site. Compositionists need a sense of the discipline's history that extends beyond scholarship and textbooks and into the social milieu that supports and is supported by composition instruction.
