SoTL, genre, readers, discourse communitiesAbstract
This essay is based on the opening keynote for ISSOTL 2016: Telling the Stories of Teaching and Learning in Los Angeles, California. I argue that we should examine our unspoken assumptions about genre in SoTL and consider what elements of teaching and learning get left out because they are too hard to represent in our dominant genres.
