When the general public considers the subject I'm working with: they will probably want to know what is meant by "academic discourse" and what are the general rules that make something "academic discourse." Scholarly discourse communities along with the general public will be interested and it will be important to discuss why access to academic discourse is important (or not) for people of differing social and economic backgrounds.
Status quo assumptions in discussions of my topic are that people from minority groups are not as good of writers as people from the majority. It is almost universally believed that people from minority groups have just as equal access to academic discourse communities as people from majority groups.
People who write on my subject typically would like to make academic discourse communities more accessible to students from minority groups. They would expect readers to strongly believe in equality - especially when it comes to education.
