Objecting to the increasing pressure to model and adapt postsecondary education to business interests and corporate needs, 16 contributions explore theoretical and practical questions of curriculum development in English departments faced with the onslaught of corporate globalization. They explore possibilities of disciplinary revision that challenge accountability discourses serving conservative interests; discuss how economic, managerial, and technological effects of globalization effect local institutions; look at the business pressures to push composition over literature; and examine the missions of English studies as they incorporate changes such as distance and online learning initiatives, service learning projects, and vocational programs in higher education.
