Welch, Nancy. "'And Now that I Know Them': Composing Mutuality in a Service Learning Course." College Composition and Communication 54 (2002): 243-263.

Welch says that writing/composing is crucial for any ASL course because the process of discovery encompasses not only intellectual discovery but also ethical-civic discovery. But further theoretical frames are necessary to push ASL students beyond default subject-object relationships ('I'm the agent helping a helpless object'). Goal: composing a subject-subject relationship. She turns to feminist object-relations theory, which "pinpoints a crucial ingredient in that relationship: the ability to recognize others as subjects whose lives both overlap and exceed one's own" (248).
