Writing@UW Fellowship

The Writing@UW Fellowship supports faculty teaching W courses who want to take their writing instruction to the next level. The quarter-long program follows a partner model, inviting  faculty to collaborate within their departments or closely affiliated units. Fellows worked together to (re)envision writing in their disciplines and refine their teaching and learning practices. Fellows participate in weekly meetings to engage with Writing in the Disciplines (WID) / Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) scholarship, discuss key issues such as multilingual learners and writing, antiracist assessment practices, and ethical use of AI, and workshop their project plans.
