WAC Clearinghouse Names Four New Scholar Fellows. The WAC Clearinghouse is delighted to announce its inaugural fellowship recipients for 2023-2024.
The WAC Clearinghouse New Scholar Fellowships, which are either six- or 12-month appointments, were generously funded by donors and were created to provide opportunities for new and early career scholars who are interested in expanding their editorial and administrative experience through involvement in one or more of our publishing venues.
The WAC Repository publishes its first article. The editors of the WAC Repository are thrilled to announce the publication of “FAQs about Language and Linguistics in Writing,” by Laura Aull and Shawna Shapiro. Laura Aull is an Associate Professor and Writing Program Director at the University of Michigan, and Shawna Shapiro is an Associate Professor at Middlebury College. This peer-reviewed article explores how rhetoric, linguistics, and writing intersect and diverge, overlap and interact through a series of three frequently asked questions: “What does linguistics add to rhetorical approaches to writing? What linguistics insights might be most useful for writing teachers and researchers? How can linguistics help us to work more effectively and equitably with student writers?” Read the full article here.
