PERSPECTIVES ON WRITING SERIES, EDITED BY SUSAN H. MCLEOD Emerging
from the International WAC/WID Mapping Project, WRITING PROGRAMS
WORLDWIDE: PROFILES OF ACADEMIC WRITING IN MANY PLACES is meant to
inform decision-making by teachers, program managers, and
college/university administrators considering how writing can most
appropriately be defined, managed, funded, and taught in the places
where they work. WRITING PROGRAMS WORLDWIDE offers an important
global perspective to the growing research literature in the
shaping of writing programs. The authors of its program profiles
show how innovators at a diverse range of universities on six
continents have dealt creatively over many years with day-to-day
and long-range issues affecting how students across disciplines and
languages grow as communicators and learners. In these profiles, we
see teachers and researchers relying on colleagues and on
transnational scholarship to build initiatives that are both well
suited to their specific environments and can serve as regional and
often global models. Their struggles and achievements offer
insights to colleagues in similar locales and across borders who
seek to establish, enhance, and assess their own work as designers
of writing programs. An introduction and three section essays by
the editors illuminate themes that inform this collection. Growing
networks of initiators and scholars and survey results from the
International WAC/WID Mapping Project exemplify the argument of
this collection for transnational exchange and collaboration. CHRIS
