"[D]isciplinary history wouldn’t be history if it were entirely static. Besides continuity, it involves change, both in the discipline’s individual members and in the field as a whole. Indeed, personal shifts often reflect and contribute to larger professional ones. For NCTE’s centennial, then, I asked several veterans of English studies to write briefly about how they have changed their minds. As you will see, their responses vary in topic and approach." From p. 106 of the Editor's introduction to an NCTE centennial symposium on "How I Have Changed My Mind" (pp. 106–130)
