Joshua Barsczewski, PhD '20, recently published, along with Timothy Oleksiak, Adequate: Rewriting the Logics of Success in Rhetoric and Composition from Utah State University Press. This collection, edited by Oleksiak and Barsczewski, "proposes a fresh approach to teaching rhetoric and composition—a field awash with unrealistic labor expectations and untenable and often unattainable requirements for both the educator and the educated—that takes “success” and “failure” out of the equation and advocates for the concept of adequacy over that of perfection."
Barsczewski and Oleksiak were also recently featured on episode 190 of The Big Rhetorical Podcast about their book.
Barsczewski is assistant professor of English literatures and writing and Writing Program director at Muhlenberg College.
