From Inquiry to Academic Writing A Practical Guide, 3rd edition

viii PrefAce for Instructors

Stuart Greene writes: I wish to thank the many students and faculty with

whom I have worked over the years. Specifically,  I would like to thank

Kelly Kinney, Stephen Fox, Rebecca Nowacek, and Katherine Weese, who

served as my assistant directors in the past and who taught me a great deal

about the teaching of writing. I would also like to thank Robert Kachur

who contributed a great deal to our early iterations of this book. And I will

always appreciate the many discussions I have had with John Duffy dur-

ing these many years and to Connie Mick, a tireless and innovative teacher

of writing. Susan Ohmer provided much insight into my understanding

of media and student culture. A special thanks to Mike Palmquist, with

whom I taught writing as “conversation” over twenty years ago and who

gave this book direction. Finally, to Denise Della Rossa, who has listened

to me rehearse these ideas for years. I dedicate this book to her.

April Lidinsky writes: I am grateful for the superb pedagogical mentorship

I received from Lou Kelly at the University of Iowa. I thank Kurt Spellmeyer,

Hugh English, and Ron Christ at Rutgers, the State University of New Jer-

sey, for my training in both hermeneutical and rhetorical approaches to

teaching writing. My colleagues and graduate student instructors at the Uni-

versity of Notre Dame, especially Julie Bruneau, Connie Mick, Marion C.

Rohrleitner, Misty Schieberle, and Scott T. Smith, inspired early versions of

this text. Thanks to Christy Jespersen, Joel Langston, Grace Lidinsky-Smith,

and Rachel Stein for their excellent suggestions for readings for this third

edition. My students continue to challenge and sharpen my teaching and

especially my own learning. Finally, I am indebted to my parents, JoElla

Hunter and Tom Lidinsky, for their model of lifelong reading and learning,

and to Ken Smith, Grace Lidinsky-Smith, and Miriam Lidinsky-Smith for

ensuring every day is filled with wit and wisdom.
