Pedagogies of WritingÌý

Facilitated by Amy Wan (Special Assistant to the Provost on Writing and Professor of English)Ìý

Writing at Queens and CETLL invite applications for FacultyÌýFellows to participate in a seminar on writing pedagogy, where they will learn about meaningful assignment design, feedback, assignment sequencing, writing with multilingual students, and the influence of generative AI. Fellows will consider how writing genres and expectations in their own disciplines shape how writing is assigned and assessed. There will also be an opportunity to design potential writing courses.ÌýÌý

We encourage applications from QC faculty members who:Ìý

• Assign writing to your studentsÌý

• Teach (or plan to teach) CW2/writing intensive classesÌý

• Want to develop or convert CW2/writing intensive courses for your departmentÌý

We are particularly interested in participants who are pre-tenure and want to learn about assigning effective and meaningful writing or mid-career faculty who would like the opportunity to re-engage with their teaching. Ìý

No expertise or previous training is necessary, and all disciplines are welcome. The seminar will be a chance to talk about teaching and learn from peers; it will be especially welcoming to participants who are interested in being more comfortable with their teaching.ÌýÌý

FacultyÌýFellows will commit to:Ìý

• Attend 4 in-person seminar meetings on February 9, March 9, and April 20 during free hour (12:15-1:30 p.m.) (with an optional co-working meeting on May 4)Ìý
