These multi-method (including rhetorical and discourse analyses and ethnographic and case-study) investigations center on several course-based tutoring (CBT) partnerships at two universities.

Color Theory and Composition
Lauren Champlin · Rio Hondo College
Color is a language with the unique ability to communicate both meanings and direct sensations. Picture a row of flags: color information of striped bands is used to distinguish country affiliation. Now, on the other hand, imagine standing in front of a Rothko painting: entering fields of red and orange raises your heart rate slightly, makes you feel warm, excited, complex emotions. We are immersed in the language of color. From rainbows to stop signs to paint, color can function as code, sensa

A Theory of Literate Action - Literate Action II
Charles Bazerman · University of California, Santa Barbara
The second in a two-volume set, A Theory of Literate Action draws on work from the social sciences—and in particular sociocultural psychology, phenomenological sociology, and the pragmatic tradition of social science—to "reconceive rhetoric fundamentally around the problems of written communication rather than around rhetoric's founding concerns of high stakes, agonistic, oral public persuasion".

Critical Expressivism - Theory and Practice in the Composition Classroom
Roeder & Gatto · LibreTexts
Critical Expressivism is an ambitious attempt to re-appropriate intellectual territory that has more often been charted by its detractors than by its proponents. Indeed, as Peter Elbow observes in his contribution to this volume, "As far as I can tell, the term 'expressivist' was coined and used only by people who wanted a word for people they disapproved of and wanted to discredit."
