History, Theory, Comprehensive Web sites
Bazerman, Charles and David R. Russell, eds. (1994). Landmark Essays on Writing Across the Curriculum.
Davis, CA: Hermagoras Press.
Noting that students must master specialized discourses if they want to participate in the “powerful activities
and social roles that expertise confers in modern cultures,” the editors identify two goals of the writing across
the curriculum movement: to make “the discursive activities [of the academy]…more accessible to nonexperts,” and to make academic discourses more available for “democratic scrutiny and dialogue” (xvi). The
preface and introduction situate the writing across the curriculum movement in the western rhetorical tradition
and in relation to the rise of specialized discourses in European and American societies. The twelve essays (all
but one published since 1976) describe the 20 th century origins of the movement in the United States,
institutional projects, classroom activities, and discipline-oriented research. For a succinct history of the
writing-across-the-curriculum movement in the U.S. and its origins in the progressive movement and British
Language Across the Curriculum movement, see David Russell’s essay, “American Origins of the Writingacross-the Curriculum Movement” (3-22).
McLeod, Susan, E. Miraglia, M. Soven, and C. Thaiss. eds. WAC for the New Millennium. Urbana, Illinois:
NCTE, 2001.
This book testifies to the writing-across-the-curriculum movement’s commitment to improving undergraduate
education, describes the diversity among programs, reviews recent advances in theory and research, and shows
how those involved in writing across the curriculum programs can help higher education meet current
challenges. Topics include the history and evolving theories of writing across the curriculum; writing centers
and curriculum-based peer tutors; writing-intensive and linked courses; the results of naturalistic studies of
students’ writing in higher education; challenges and ways of meeting the needs of increasingly diverse students
(including bilingual students); program evaluation and ways WAC programs can assist departments in the “Age
2
of Accountability”; electronic communication; and service learning. The authors do not champion particular
institutional or course models; rather they show how collaboration with others to meet the challenges and
“massive change” higher education is facing has and can assure the quality of undergraduate education and
support “effective teaching and student learning” (22).
Foster, David & David R. Russell, eds. Writing and Learning in Cross-National Perspective: Transitions
from Secondary to Higher Education. (2003). Urbana, Illinois: National Council of Teachers of English,
This is the first book-length, cross-national comparison of students’ development as academic writers.
Contributors describe ways students from China, England, France, Germany, Kenya, and South Africa “write
their ways into the communities of their chosen disciplines,” and show how learning to write raises “issues of
student authorship and agency, as well as larger issues of educational access, institutional power relations,
system goals, and students’ roles in society” (from the cover blurb). As global communication increases and
more students are attending higher education, comparisons among practices in these countries and those in the
United States provide valuable new perspectives into the nature of and need for advanced literacies and for
continued research.
Russell, David R. Writing in the Academic Disciplines, 1870-1990. A Curricular History. (1991).
Carbondale: Southern Illinois Press.
In this illuminating history, Russell shows how American undergraduates’ writing (and learning) has been
neglected by “largely tacit traditions” that ignore the rhetorical nature of academic discourses, that see writing
as merely transcribed oral speech, and that reduce writing to a mechanical skill divorced from learning. Russell
goes on to link current debates about the importance of writing for academic learning to curricular debates
about who and what should be taught in higher education. By clarifying the philosophical foundations of these
debates, Russell provides ways for teachers in higher education to think and talk about the relationships
between writing, language, and learning more fruitfully and across specializations.
Russell, David R. “Where do the Naturalistic Studies of WAC/WID Point? A Research Review” (2001). In
McLeod, et al. WAC for the New Millennium. (2001). Urbana, Illinois: NCTE.
Russell discusses the implications for undergraduate teaching and learning of more than one hundred recent
(since 1990) naturalistic (rather than experimental) studies of writers and writing in general or liberal education,
introductory and intermediate courses in the majors, graduate and internship education, and professional
workplaces. He begins by noting that some experimental studies suggest that “writing does not automatically
improve” either learning or thinking and that “[s]imple fact-based learning may be better achieved through
other strategies” (259). However, if teachers want students to be able to think and communicate in more
complex ways, teachers must abandon the idea that writing is “a single generalizable skill, learned once and for
all at an early age,” and see writing as “a complex range of accomplishments, variously tied to myriad human
practices” (260). Learning a new genre or kind of writing has four major aspects: learners must be motivated;
they must be willing to assume the identity required by the rhetorical situation; they need to acquire the tools to
succeed; and they need to understand and undertake the processes that contribute to the final product. He
concludes that recent research suggests that if we want students to engage in “writing experiences that go
beyond rote recall,” we need to ask more than “What do we want them to know?” We also need to ask “What
do we want students to be able to do with the material of the course?” Teachers need to take into account that
“the why, who, and how…are as important as the content—the what—in learning to write and writing to learn”
(290).
Villenueva, Victor. “The Politics of Literacy Across the Curriculum.” (2001). In McLeod, et al. WAC for
the New Millennium. (2001). Urbana, Illinois: NCTE.
Villenueva challenges those involved in writing across the curriculum to work more actively to reform
pedagogy in order to avoid an assimilationist model of learning to write in the disciplines and to stop
“reproducing a school system that has traditionally failed to educate the woman, the poor, or the person of color
at the same rate of efficiency as others” (170). Among other things, he insists that students should not be
required to “erase where they’ve been” as they learn the new ways of writing needed to get where “they wish to
3
go by way of the academy” (175). As writing specialists share their expertise about how to help students
become better writers and learners, Villenueva suggests that they also draw upon the expertise of their
colleagues in history, sociology, etc. to better “understand the social processes that could relegate such a large
number [of students] to the trouble-heap: the poor and the racial or ethnic majority” (170).
The WAC Clearinghouse: http://wac.colostate.edu/
This is the place to start for information on all aspects and kinds of written communication in the academic
disciplines and professions, as well as theoretical perspectives and research. The WAC Clearinghouse has
resources for teachers who use writing in their courses as well as five journals and four book series. The

Pedagogy and Classroom Practices
Bean, John C. (1996). Engaging Ideas: The Professor’s Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking,
and Active Learning in the Classroom. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
This book is probably the one most recommended to teachers who want to engage students in active learning
and critical thinking in their courses--both large lectures and small seminars. Bean has especially valuable
suggestions about creating writing assignments that pose problems and provide students with the guidance and
rhetorical situations they need to compose in various genres. Examples of assignments are from teachers in the
Arts, Business, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences. Bean provides a particularly useful analysis of the
implicit roles students are asked to assume as writers, an analysis worth sharing with students. The book
includes suggestions about why and how to ask for less formal kinds of writing (in lectures and in response to
readings) and how to hold productive conferences.
CAC Resources for Teachers. http://www.siu.edu/departments/cac/teachers.htm
Developed by the Communications Across the Curriculum program at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale,
this web site has “dozens of handouts to help teachers and graduate assistants better implement communication
and writing skills into their curriculum.” Topics include Learning to Write Continuum, Why Include Writing,

Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism: The Council of Writing Program Administrators Statement on Best
Practices. http://www.ilstu.edu/~ddhesse/wpa/positions/WPAplagiarism.pdf
According to its developers, "[t]his statement responds to the growing educational concerns about plagiarism in
four ways: by defining plagiarism; by suggesting some of the causes of plagiarism; by proposing a set of
responsibilities (for students, teachers, and administrators) to address the problem of plagiarism; and by
recommending a set of practices for teaching and learning that can significantly reduce the likelihood of
plagiarism. The statement is intended to provide helpful suggestions and clarifications so that instructors,
administrators, and students can work together more effectively in support of excellence in teaching and
learning.”

This book would be valuable for all academic and professional writers. Williams begins with an analysis of
styles that fail to communicate clearly and then shows more effective ways of constructing and linking
sentences to achieve clarity and grace. He explains the principles and ethics for developing reader-friendly
styles and provides many helpful examples and plentiful exercises drawn from academic and professional prose.
The book also includes an insightful analysis of correctness and excellent advice on punctuation. Ideal for an
upper division writing course in any discipline, though instructors may want to focus on only a few chapters.
Advanced and graduate students could work through most of this book on their own.
