Herard, Tiffany. “Writing in Solidarity: The New Generation.” Race and Class 47.2 (2003): 88-99.

“…genuine relationships of solidarity – not to be confused with uniformity – demand that we involve ourselves in collaborative writing, so as to develop the intellectual capacity and political consciousness of academic/activist/artistic generations to come” (89).

“…Boice, author of Professors as Academic Writers, encourages academics to work collaboratively to get ‘unblocked’ and to move beyond the competetive impulses that undermine the possibilities of universities becoming centres for empowerment” (95). Isolation is counter-productive.

“I tend to agree with Robert Boice that it is the failure to make research social as a practice at each stage that inhibits the possibility of the completion of more books, articles and study guides on radical thought” (96).
