Mike Rose researcher, professor, scholar, and author of numerous articles
and books including the literacy memoir - Lives on the Boundary - has been active in
the field of education and composition for over 30 years. This thesis looks back at the
development of the discipline of composition studies to suggest that Rose has played
an important role in this process, particularly with his significant early work on
cognitive writing process research and his later attention to the social-cognitive
aspects of learning. This thesis contributes to the scholarly conversation on Rose by
composing a reading of Rose's oeuvre on the theme of inclusion. Three chapters
analyze Rose's various presentations of inclusion in his scholarly articles and in Lives
on the Boundary. These instances of inclusion reveal his commitment to helping
students succeed - particularly students who might be marginalized due to race,
gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic class. In suggesting this way of reading Rose's
oeuvre, this thesis encourages further consideration of his many contributions to the
field of rhetoric and composition. The appendix includes an extended annotated
bibliography. / Graduation date: 2004
