Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 1,800 entries, The Encyclopedia of Louisville is the ultimate reference for Kentucky's largest city. For more than 125 years, the world's attention has turned to Louisville for the annual running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Louisville Slugger bats still reign supreme in major league baseball. The city was also the birthplace of the famed Hot Brown and Benedictine spread, and the cheeseburger made its debut at Kaelin's Restaurant on Newburg Road in 1934. The "Happy Birthday" had its origins in the Louisville kindergarten class of sisters Mildred Jane Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Named for King Louis XVI of France in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778. The city has been home to a number of men and women who changed the face of American history. President Zachary Taylor was reared in surrounding Jefferson County, and two U.S. Supreme Court Justices were from the city proper. Second Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor during World War I, frequented the bar in the famous Seelbach Hotel, immortalized in The Great Gatsby. Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville and won six Golden Gloves tournaments in Kentucky.

Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, advanced educational opportunities were not clearly demarcated and defined. Author Amy J. Lueck demonstrates that public high schools, in addition to colleges and universities, were vital settings for advanced rhetoric and writing instruction. Lueck shows how the history of high schools in Louisville, Kentucky, connects with, contradicts, and complicates the accepted history of writing instruction and underscores the significance of high schools to rhetoric and composition history and the reform efforts in higher education today. Lueck explores Civil War- and Reconstruction-era challenges to the University of Louisville and nearby local high schools, their curricular transformations, and their fate in regard to national education reform efforts. These institutions reflect many of the educational trends and developments of the day: college and university building, the emergence of English education as the dominant curriculum for higher learning, student-centered pedagogies and educational theories, the development and transformation of normal schools, the introduction of manual education and its mutation into vocational education, and the extension of advanced education to women, African American, and working-class students. Lueck demonstrates a complex genealogy of interconnections among high schools, colleges, and universities that demands we rethink our categories and standards of assessment and our field’s history. A shift in our historical narrative would promote a move away from an emphasis on the preparation, transition, and movement of student writers from high school to college or university and instead allow a greater focus on the fostering of rich rhetorical practices and pedagogies at all educational levels. As the definition of college-level writing becomes increasingly contested once again, Lueck invites a reassessment of the discipline’s understanding of contemporary programs based in high schools like dual-credit and concurrent enrollment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This archival project investigates the first public high schools in Louisville as they negotiated the means and ends of providing higher education to an increasingly diverse and expanding body of learners. Drawing on primary documents from the schools' first four decades of operation - particularly school board reports, newspapers, and student writing - I foreground the interplay and overlap between regional and institutional identities and histories, which contribute to a rich and complex picture of "higher education" in the nineteenth-century US. Each chapter of the dissertation explores a distinct but overlapping aspect of the curriculum - including "practical" education, women's education, and manual or industrial education - that contributes to a rich ecological perspective on the political, social, economic, and gendered aspects of rhetorical education being negotiated for learners across the last half of the century. Together, the arguments forwarded in each chapter demonstrate the value of examining high schools as sites of pedagogical innovation, rhetorical opportunity, and citizenship training of significance both to our rhetorical histories and to the ways we address reform efforts in higher education today. In "The Idea(l) of the High School," I begin by introducing the high schools as collegiate institutions serving the higher education needs of the city's students, outlining the general justifications for establishing these schools - which included training teachers for the lower schools and providing access to higher education in the student's home community to develop citizens and workers. Here, I outline key terms of the project and the historiographic conversations to which it contributes. My next chapter, "The Practical and Practice: William N. Hailmann and the Louisville High Schools," focuses on the first decade of the schools' operation, during which European educational philosophies of the "New Education" were introduced to Louisville's schools by science professor William N. Hailmann. Under his influence, educational theories associated with the lower schools (particularly "object teaching") were applied to a collegiate learning context, replacing traditional disciplinary values of memorization and recitation with student-centered methods emphasizing self-activity, hands-on practice, and a "pedagogy of interest" as the basis for a "practical" education. Following Linda Adler-Kassner's "Liberal Learning, Professional Training and Disciplinarity" and Min Zhan Lu and Bruce Horner's "Composing Careers in Global Local Context," I argue that this notion of practical education, as grounded in meaningful student-centered practice and learning across one's lifetime, provides an alternative definition and purpose for a "practical" liberal arts education that can be drawn on to counter reductively career-oriented appeals circulating in current educational reform discourse. Chapter Three, "The Flower of Democracy: Female High School," focuses specifically on opportunities for young women. Building on the student-centered academic focus provided by the new education, women at Female High School were afforded remarkable opportunities to develop as rhetors and teachers, and to pursue both high academic standards and professionalization opportunities at a time when these two aims were seldom combined for women. In this chapter, I argue that the construction of these young women as "high school girls" (even though they were as old as 21) alleviated concerns about their rhetorical performances, while their role as future teachers provided a frame for their civic participation and professionalization. In particular, I focus on the opportunities for women's rhetorical engagement from within the seemingly contained but very much public school ceremonies. I analyze three student essays from the 1860 commencement ceremonies to demonstrate the ways students used this traditionally epideictic context as a venue for deliberative rhetoric that commented on their own experiences as women and students. The perceived innocuousness of the "high school girl" and her public service role as a future teacher enabled remarkable opportunities for rhetorical development and civic participation that have been overlooked in our emphasis on colleges, providing insights into how we might conceive of publicly engaged students and pedagogies today. Chapter Four, "The Mind and Body of Higher Learning," traces the constriction of opportunities for rhetorical education through the development of differentiated programs in the final decades of the nineteenth century. These programs were increasingly focused on preparing students for particular career outcomes, and led to the construction of students as gendered and classed learners. In particular, I argue that the emerging attention to students' material needs and embodiment served as a warrant for developing curricular programs that confirmed social class positions and available gender roles rather than affording opportunities for students to transcend them. The emphasis on embodiment coincides with the emergence of race as an important signifier, as Louisville's first public school for African Americans was opened in 1873, when these reforms began to catch on in the city. The account of embodied vocational education helps us to understand the ongoing devaluation of manual education and careers, and has explanatory power for understanding the eclipse of what Graves calls the "female scholar" by the "domesticated citizen" by the end of the century. In my final chapter, I summarize the historical and historiographic insights provided by a study of the Louisville high schools. I link my account to national educational trends and discourse to show how Louisville helps us to frame a shared sense of history between Rhetoric and Composition and Education in order to rethink the utility of our origin stories and the disciplinary boundaries they are used to uphold.

Book excerpt: I conducted my dissertation research in the national, state, and local archives. Using Deborah Brandt's "Sponsors of Literacy" as a conceptual framework and Critical Race Theory as a theoretical framework, I offer Louisville, Kentucky as a historical case study for how an established and empowered community of free blacks can serve as a catalyst to bring about social and political change through the acquisition of literacy. This dissertation is divided into four chapters. Chapter One explains the scholarly context of my dissertation. I argue that post-emancipation African Americans had a sense of urgency for the acquisition of literacy, and that they were their own primary sponsors. Finally, I offer a review of the limited literature in this research area, an overview of my scholarly position, and a summary of the overall dissertation. Chapter Two contextualizes the development of African-American schools in Louisville, Kentucky. I offer a history of the emergence of public schools nationwide as a tool of assimilation. I also offer a discussion of Kentucky state legislative activity that hindered funding and postponed the opening of public schools for African Americans for more than 4 years statewide. I discuss ways in which rhetorical practices were used to victimize African-Americans who developed a funding plan to support schools for their own children while also contributing tax dollars to majority schools. Chapter Three offers Louisville as a historic case study. I argue that Louisville was a place with a unique set of circumstances that allowed for the development of an atypical African-American community. I argue that the acquisition of literacy permitted African-Americans in this community to exercise agency that spurred socio-economic change. I also argue that the newspaper was a powerful source of agency, and I juxtapose the self-report system in African-American newspapers with reports of African-American community activities in the publications of the majority. Finally, Chapter Four considers ways that this narrative contributes to scholarship in African-American studies, African-American literacy, African-African rhetoric, Rhetoric and Composition, and to some degree pedagogical practice.
