WAC Repository

The WAC Repository offers both a collection of peer-reviewed articles pertaining to WAC administration and pedagogy and a set of resources for the wider writing studies community that have been assembled through curation and crowdsourcing. The Repository pursues its mission of prompting cross-institutional conversations and making visible the work of WAC practitioners, administrators, and stakeholders by encouraging and supporting exchanges about implementing WAC principles and best practices in local contexts.

The WAC Repository publishes a wide range of materials, including peer-reviewed articles, crowd-sourced collections, exhibit, and resources for the WAC and writing studies community. Follow the links to the right (on desktops and laptops) or at the bottom of this page (on mobile devices) or view our About page to learn more.

The WAC Repository is a collaboration between the WAC Clearinghouse and the Association for Writing Across the Curriculum.
