Colleagues,
In my research this weekend, I came across a newish book (2017) published in the National Council of Teachers of English “Studies in Writing and Rhetoric” series called Reframing the Relational: A Pedagogical Ethic for Cross-Curricular Literacy Work. The central claim of the book is that a pedagogical approach to faculty interactions in Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) and Writing in the Disciplines (WID) contexts can enhance cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration and ultimately lead to more productive, sustainable initiatives overall (not just in writing!). I will definitely be getting my hands on this book in the near future and will share any insights with the group that seem relevant to our efforts. Just thought I would report out on this to show how cutting edge we are . . . as if there was any question . . . 😉
