Conventions of Academic Writing Across the Liberal Arts Curriculum

Project lead: Dr. Tisha Turk, Director of Academic Support for Writing & Speaking

Vivero Fellow (Fall 2022): Ellen Hengesbach

As part of a collaborative workshop funded by the Associated Colleges of the Midwest, faculty from four liberal arts colleges (Carleton, Grinnell, Macalester, and St. Olaf) identified, annotated, and discussed examples of good writing published by scholars in their fields. The project’s Vivero Fellow will compile an accessible online archive of these materials that includes not only the annotated examples themselves but also searchable metadata: users will be able to search the archive for all sample texts in STEM fields or all annotations that comment on features of an article’s introduction. Ultimately, this archive will be used in professional development sessions for writing faculty and peer writing consultants.
