The joy of getting referenced in dissertations and research papers

After many years of writing hundreds of research papers, several MA theses, and one dissertation, I'm always intrigued when my work gets quoted in research papers and dissertations—in this case, the Rhetoric Review:

“Rhetorical Cues and Cultural Clues: An Analysis of the Recommendation Letter in English Studies."

Below the introductory paragraph: “Rhetorical Cues and Cultural Clues Rhetoric Review Analysis of a collection of contemporary recommendation letters for admission to a PhD program in English studies revealed differences in length, level of specificity, and rhetorical appeals that applied much more strongly to candidates’ acceptance status than to gender. Across both status and gender groupings, however, candidates were frequently appraised through economic metaphors, indicating a disciplinary culture that dually approaches graduate students as immediate sources of labor and as the future of the profession. Findings from these letters should promote continued conversation about disciplinary culture and clearer guidelines for those writing and requesting recommendation letters."
