Greetings all!
I'm seeking information from you about the academic homes of faculty who
teach writing and particularly who teach writing in the disciplines.
We are wondering what proportion of people who are teaching writing come
from disciplines other than English or Education.
Could you please let me know if you have a unit/centre or courses taught by,
say a physicist, who is teaching writing in physics? I'm wondering about
the academic backgrounds of people who are in those active programs in
engineering and business at U of T and elsewhere; what about medical
schools?
SFU is still in the developmental stage of implementing the new
W-requirement and we are looking at who should constitute the faculty who
either assist others in their disciplines or otherwise teach
discipline-specific writing courses.
Any hints or links or numbers very welcome! Many thanks!
Wendy
