David Rosenwasser teaches at Muhlenberg College, a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania, where he has been since the late 1980s. He and Jill Stephen created and implemented the Writing Across the Curriculum program there through a series of faculty seminars. During these seminars, Dr. Rosenwasser and Dr. Stephen discovered that while content faculty from across the disciplines maintained disciplinary-specific writing protocols, they essentially wanted the same thing from student writing: analysis. From this premise, WRITING ANALYTICALLY was born. Dr. Rosenwasser received his B.A. from Grinnell College and his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in the theory and history of narrative. His current interests include contemporary Irish literature and comic theory. His most recent literary papers include a study of the contemporary Irish writer Edna O'Brien in relation to the work of Joyce and Yeats as well as an analysis of the politics of Bruce Springsteen's albums during the Bush presidency, written collaboratively with a political science professor.
"The sections on binaries are VERY helpful, since so many of my students think and write in binary opposites. Wonderful examples and writing activities. Also, I LOVE the Method and Notice and Focus."
"I think Chapter 8 is the most useful chapter in WA. I use both the "bad" and "good" examples of an essay to help my students understand what's required of their own work. My students are not acquainted with writing anything other than a "report," so examples of writings that offer an extended analysis of ideas are crucial."
