Writing in the Disciplines is related to, but not the same
as Writing Across the Curriculum.
Because the literate experiences that are part of the college curriculum
are frequently related directly and indirectly to disciplinary literate
practices, Writing in the Disciplines can provide helpful clues about how
writing may be supported throughout the undergraduate curriculum; nonetheless,
educational institutions, organization of curriculum, the variety of student
goals, and other educational priorities make undergraduate writing distinct
from the writing produced by professionals in the disciplines. Much of the writing demands of graduate
education, however, may be viewed as apprenticeship to disciplinary practices.
Because
academic disciplines are highly structured social formations, readily available
to researchers, Writing in the Disciplines is a major research site for the
wider study of how literate practices are
socially located and institutionally organized, and provides many of the cases
for the understanding of Discourse Community
and other literate social formations. Thus it is at the forefront of
socially-oriented rhetorical research and theory.
