Diversity isn't a content for FYC; it's a way of thinking rhetorically. Design assignments not so that students work from their comfort zone but so that they confront discomfort and become inquirers. Design assignments not so that students write about their personal experiences and beliefs but so that they extend themselves beyond those personal experiences and beliefs (450-452) and so that they recognize that their immediate reactions may not be wise (456-457). The hypervisibility assignment pursues these goals (459-462). Offers sample invention heuristics (459).

Disdains multicultural readers (451).

Ahmed "is developing a materialist account of emotions—not as residing in subjects or in objects, but as an economy of affect that circulates among bodies and texts and that performs the work of creating our sense of self and stranger, inside and outside, community and nation, safety and danger, place and nonplace" (452).

Draws on speech act theory to imagine diversity not as a constative but as a performative (455).
