“This isn't just a book for WPAs or composition teachers—this is a book for everyone who lives inside the discipline of Rhetoric and Writing studies. This collection opens an important conversation about the acts of aggression and everyday incivilities that too many of our us have experienced, witnessed, or fought against in our roles as administrators, teachers, colleagues. By naming these acts as what they are—bullying, racism, sexism, classism, etc.—instead of writing them off as part of the job or as the product of institutional politics, the editors of this collection are asking us all to hold a mirror to our actions, and to the actions of others. This book goes onto the ‘use every day’ shelf of my bookcase.” —Malea Powell, Michigan State University   “This collection of essays contributes not only to writing program administration studies but also to an important conversation about bullying in academia as a whole. . . . Many readers will recognize their own experiences in these chapters.” —Shirley K Rose, Arizona State University, from the foreword
