In this article, the four authors reflect back on their work as writing teachers in a neighborhood adult literacy center, in order to understand better the potential "violence" of literacy learning, to reassess assumptions of expressivist pedagogy, and to turn to Bakhtin and Foucault as interpretive frames for theorizing adult literacy learning. The authors propose "co-authoring" as the concept that emerged as central to the writing classes they designed and taught. In this essay they explore co-authoring as process, principle, and theoretical problem.
