For an undergraduate-level academic research writing or interdisciplinary core course.
Arming students with the tools they will need to successfully produce and communicate in a university environment, this highly practical text offers an in-depth, fully integrated study of inquiry and writing processes―showing students how to think and write across the interdisciplinary board, and empowering them with real skills they can use and develop on a daily basis. While acknowledging analytical processes common to all research thinking and writing, it blends a variety of reading and writing activities that help students explore specific disciplines, different aspects of those processes, and how the full range of thinking and writing skills can develop best through inquiry within disciplinary contexts. Moving from writing in the sciences to the social sciences, humanities, and finally critical applications of interdisciplinary thinking, it employs a process approach, sequenced readings, hands-on inquiry and informal writing activities.

From the Back Cover
ENGAGING INQUIRY RESEARCH AND WRITING IN THE DISCIPLINES by Judy Kirscht and Mark Sehlenz, familiarizes students with the purposes, processes, and forms of academic writing across the disciplines by introducing them to the ways that academic knowledge and writing emerge from methodical approaches to inquiry, research, and critical thinking.
The text's inquiry-based approach to academic writing arises from and incorporates cutting-edge insights of emerging composition theory. It also carries students' personal questions and curiosities through academic inquiry processes in science, social science, and the humanities to address real world problems.
Among its many features, the text includes the following:
- Topics applicable in all disciplines including cloning, pollution, violence, and population control
- Field exercises, surveys, and reading logs that promote first-hand observation and data gathering
- An array of writing assignments ranging from evaluating websites to editing a student paper
- Detailed charts that provide visual examples of the text's processes
- Appendix on MLA/APA citation and documentation
In addition to its features, the text enables humanities-trained composition instructors to prepare their students for the types of scholarship and writing that will be required of them in science and social science courses as well as in literature, history, and the arts.
Ultimately, it engages students in real inquiry and encourages them to think and write like natural/social scientists and humanist interpreters.
