Collaborative Goals

CNY Graduate Student Writing Group provides an opportunity for cross-institutional collaboration between different but overlapping disciplines in writing studies (humanities-based) and communication (social science-based). The categories of “humanities” and “social sciences” are often deemed separate, different, and disparate academic areas of study. However, writing process and practices transverse across these two disciplines, offering the potential for enlightened conversations around writing norms and practices as well as research methods. A part the group’s focus will be on writing as a collaborative practice - how can what seems like a singular and isolating practice be shifted toward a more participatory approach.
