Basgier, Christopher; Simpson, Amber – Across the Disciplines, 2020

Hendricks, C. C. – Across the Disciplines, 2018
In moves to fortify the discipline and articulate its value, does writing studies risk perpetuating narrow views of disciplinarity and academic writing? Drawing from an analysis of the intersections between WAC/WID [Writing Across the Curriculum/Writing in the Disciplines] and transfer scholarship in popular rhetoric and composition journals, I…

Kester, Jessica; Block, Rebecca; Karda, Margaret Reinfeld; Orndoff, Harold, III – Across the Disciplines, 2016
Today, and historically, the presence of WAC/WID programs in the community college setting remains anemic when compared to Ph.D.-granting institutions. This fact is particularly troubling considering the AAC&U's research on high-impact practices and its correlation with WAC/WID theory and practice. This article empirically investigates the…

Rodrigue, Tanya K. – Across the Disciplines, 2012

Zawacki, Terry Myers – Across the Disciplines, 2008
To be effective sites for enacting WAC change, writing fellows programs, like WAC itself, must be attuned to institutional realities, adapting goals and practices accordingly.

Jessica Yood argues that Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) initiatives can help us better understand how the academy can act in the information age.
