I   also heave a deep  sigh -  as  the all specializations required assume
a person who can " to meet  all contingencies,  ESL issues,  student with
learning disabilities, become knowledgeable about writing requirements of
faculty in all disciplines, Keep abreast of the latest scholarship in the
field of composition/rhetoric. ....." would mean practically someone who
has had extensive teacher training, curriculum theory, an
instructional  education research and theory background, and
inter-disciplinary academic writing background  and so forth, and yet the
job is constructed as belonging in the naturalized, care-giving services,
contingent labour supply side of the University  - Interesting. The job
also has a ten month renewable tenure.

Has anyone read Gypsy academics and mother-teachers : gender, contingent
labor, and writing instruction / Eileen E. Schell  - it deals with the USA
university context  -  but is  certainly applicable to Canadian contexts
and the construction of writing instruction as the mother-work of the
university.
