BOOK:
Scaffolding the Language of Power: An Apprenticeship in Doctoral Level Writing
offers an accessible, practical, hands-on guide to developing the skills needed to successfully write a doctoral dissertation or thesis. This textbook-workbook hybrid can be used both as a program/course text and as a supplement for individual doctoral students in education and related social science and humanities fields.

The book is built on three main ideas. First, writing is fundamentally connected to issues of social justice. Doctoral-level writing is part of the language of power in academia, which builds on the linguistic patterns of the dominant culture and serves as a gatekeeping mechanism. Second, writing is genre-based. This means that doctoral level writing is a particular way of using language, or a specific genre, with distinct rules and structures that can be taught. And third, writing can be scaffolded. Approaching writing as a pedagogical act that supports readers' understanding through purposeful scaffolding is not just a way to successfully complete a doctoral dissertation--it is a way to make academic writing more accessible in general.
