STLHE 2016 SAPES

Advanced undergraduate students often look forward to participating in the published discourse of their fields; even excellent students, however, often require considerable assistance with the process of learning to write what Susan Peck MacDonald (1994) calls “expert insider prose.” Collaborative authorship provides one approach to this process: professors can work with promising students on a research project of the student’s choosing with an eye towards eventual publication. This interactive workshop will explore how a business professor, her student, and an English professor collaborated to move a course assignment towards a conference presentation at an academic conference and eventual publication and will also elicit, through an interactive workshop, strategies from session participants for such collaboration in their own courses, programs, and disciplines.
