Writing Groups for Doctoral Education and Beyond

Innovations in practice and theory

Herausgeber: Aitchison, Claire; Guerin, Cally

Beschreibung

Writing is the principal means by which doctoral candidature is monitored and measured; this, combined with the growing tendency to use publications as proxy measures of individual and institutional productivity, underlines the centrality of writing in academia. One of the central questions for scholars in higher education, therefore, is 'How do we make writing happen?', and it is this question which the book seeks to answer.
