Risk in Academic Writing: Postgraduate Students, their Teachers and the Making of Knowledge (New Perspectives on Language and Education)

This book brings together a variety of voices - students and teachers, journal editors and authors, writers from the global north and south - to interrogate the notion of risk as it applies to the production of academic writing. Risk-taking is viewed as a productive force, and one that can be used to challenge the silences and erasures inherent in academic tradition and convention.
