Download or read book Conducting Socially Responsible Research written by Omar Swartz and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1997 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book redefines our understanding of theory, criticism and pedagogy with the vocabulary of neo-pragmatism. When human knowledge becomes historicized and socialized, the distinctions between our public, academic and instructional personae fade. In place of such traditional personae, a new identity is encouraged for scholars in the field of communication. The book successfully argues that rhetorical scholars can assume a cultural importance in life.
