Summary/Abstract: Prof. Charles Bazerman from University of California, Santa Barbara is one of the leading experts on writing research and pedagogy, contributing significantly to the establishment of writing as a research field. His main emphasis is on genre theories, the concept of activity system, intertextuality, cognitive aspects of writing development, and the rhetoric of science. His approach to writing research can be labeled as socio-historical-institutional in that it focuses substantially on social, historical and institutional contexts within recognized genres, with form being a rhetorical response to a situation.
