This month, we are working to improve coverage of content at the intersection of writing studies and transfer theory and research. We will be exploring two scholars, Kathleen Blake Yancey and Linda-Adler Kassner, and how they helped contribute to transfer scholarship. In addition, we will be seeing how the concept of transfer of learning can be expanded upon and its connection to writing transfer in first-year composition classrooms and writing centers.
Our main goals are to . . .
1. Set writing goals: Create achievable goals for contributions to a target article or articles.
2. Coordinate collaboration: Form writing groups of WikiProject Writing participants interested in improving the same article or articles.
3. Combat knowledge inequities: Address content gaps by creating new content with attention to the research and scholarship of marginalized writing studies teacher-scholars.
Take action by...
1. Choosing an article: Head to our article worklist to find an article you'd like to work on.
2. Setting a goal: Edit our 'Setting goals' section with your suggested plan for the month.
3. Collaborate on an article: Use our resources section to help create a draft, assess notability, find sources, and request feedback.
