Rezensionen

"Written by an emerging scholar in Writing Studies and neuroscience, Ryan Crawford's book uses the concept of the 'emergent self' or the 'self as becoming' to provide insight into what happens in the brain during the experience of different types of motivation. The book utilizes an intriguing and unique approach to pedagogy, problematizing and expanding what is meant by a student-centered class. It is likely to have a groundbreaking impact on how we understand teaching, learning, and student agency."

Irene Clark, California State University, Northridge, USA.

"An innovative take on applying the principles of brain science to writing composition. Dr. Crawford provides the reader with an insight into how neuroscience research can have practical applications in the classroom setting."
