While local conditions remain at the forefront of writing
program administration, transnational activities are slowly and
thoroughly shifting the questions we ask about writing curricula,
the space and place in which writing happens, and the cultural and
linguistic issues at the heart of the relationships forged in
literacy work. "Transnational Writing Program Administration"
challenges taken-for-granted assumptions regarding program
identity, curriculum and pedagogical effectiveness, logistics and
quality assurance, faculty and student demographics, innovative
partnerships and research, and the infrastructure needed to support
writing instruction in higher education.
Well-known scholars and new voices in the field extend the
theoretical underpinnings of writing program administration to
consider programs, activities, and institutions involving students
and faculty from two or more countries working together and
highlight the situated practices of such efforts. The collection
brings translingual graduate students at the forefront of writing
studies together with established administrators, teachers, and
researchers and intends to enrich the efforts of WPAs by examining
the practices and theories that impact our ability to conceive of
writing program administration as transnational.
This collection will enable writing program administrators to
take the emerging locations of writing instruction seriously, to
address the role of language difference in writing, and to engage
critically with the key notions and approaches to writing program
administration that reveal its transnationality.
