“Burnin’ Daylight reads like a master class in developing strategies for administering writing programs. It leads the WPA reader to delve deeper and deeper into their programmatic rationale and planning.”—Jacob Babb, Appalachian State  “Ryan Dippre’s book intricately weaves anecdotes about his WPA life into his conceptions about what it means to lead a writing program while reminding the reader that a values-centered approach lies at the heart of writing program administration. Dippre demonstrates a keen understanding of the field, offering references to threshold concepts, labor issues, relevant position statements, and antiracist pedagogy.”— Melvin Beavers, University of Arkansas at Little Rock
