The Featured Scholars Series

The Featured Scholars Series focuses on scholars who have made significant and enduring contributions to WAC and, more broadly, to the field of writing studies. It is designed to continue preserving the stories of our field, particularly as they pertain to the writing and writing processes of the teachers, researchers, and scholars who make up our discipline.

Like our other interview projects and series, we are currently inviting nominations for the series. Self-nominations are encouraged.

The Emerging Voices Series

Emerging Voices, a collection of interviews from scholars who are currently making and remaking the field of writing studies broadly conceived, is designed to continue preserving the stories of our field, particularly as they pertain to the writing and writing processes of the teachers, researchers, and scholars who make up our discipline. The series, led by Zak Muñoz, provides insights into the embodied experience of writing in our discipline, guiding newcomers as they seek to make a home in the field and providing information about new and potentially critical developments in writing studies.

We are currently inviting nominations for the series. Self-nominations are encouraged.
