Workshop B: Sustaining Writing Across the Curriculum: Programs, Politics, and Strategies - RM 115

Jeff Galin, Florida Atlantic University


We will discuss how differently configured WAC programs across a range of university settings can be conceived and sustained. Based on a sustainability model I have derived from the Balanton Group, this presentation will discuss what questions must be asked to develop a sustainability map for writing programs, particularly WAC programs. Drawing from the three programs that I have already studies, I will introduce the question sets that must be asked to map various WAC program configurations. WAC programs (and other similar institutions) should be able to use the results of my research to map their programs for sustainability indicators and assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of their programs. The results might also be used to identify and/or predict the need for programmatic change.
