Synopsis

This annotated bibliography is the first to trace the history of the Writing Across the Curriculum Movement (WAC) and to assess the state of scholarship and pedagogy on the subject today. Professors Anson, Schwiebert, and Williamson carefully describe 1067 important sources taken from bibliographies, books, monographs, journals, textbooks, and other documents. Their research guide reviews the history and implementation of WAC, research and theoretical studies, and the teaching of writing across the curriculum in general and in diverse fields. Author and subject indexes provide easy access to the reference materials for the use of researchers in composition, education, arts and humanities, physical, social and behavioral sciences, and business.
