Better Practices
Exploring the Teaching of Writing in Online and Hybrid Spaces
Perspectives on Writing Series
Copublished with the WAC Clearinghouse
This edited collection offers 11 studies that illustrate the different ways writing studies researchers can use their training to study how faculty write. Moving beyond the lore that often dominates conversations about faculty writers, Faculty Writing Support explores how our discipline can expand its understanding of how faculty write and how they can be supported. The contributors raise questions about how graduate students transition to faculty writers, what types of support faculty writers want at different stages of their careers, and how and why faculty write together. Drawing on research methods including surveys, interviews, case studies, and audio recordings of writing groups, the contributors to Faculty Writing Support offer a first look at grounded research interventions with faculty and advanced graduate student writers. The collection acts as a call for writing studies to turn its disciplinary attention to faculty writing within higher education.
This book is also available as an open access ebook through the WAC Clearinghouse.
