This chapter argues that the structured conversations of the WEC model both unearth tacit assumptions about disciplinary writing and student learning and often challenge persistent assumptions regarding what writing is and how it works. Much as students encounter liminality in their transitions from novice outsiders to disciplinary insiders, faculty experience their own process of change and transformation, complete with the discomfort and resistance that such transformations imply. As faculty engage each other in understanding the constitutive character of writing in shaping knowledge, they often move well beyond an interest in policing surface-level conventions. Two case studies from the University of Minnesota illustrate how faculty members in departments negotiate this transition and revise their orientations toward writing through the WEC process, and how a transformed orientation toward writing leads to engaged, thoughtful, and sustained curricular change.","PeriodicalId":200684,"journal":{"name":"Writing-Enriched Curricula: Models of Faculty-Driven and Departmental Transformation","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132489493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the WEC initiative at the University of Oklahoma, our approach has been like that of a social activist doing grassroots work behind the scenes before they have achieved the critical mass to effect institutional change. The chapter first aims to update the general WAC conversation about social movement tactics with recent literature about relational dynamics (Tarabochia, 2017), including the rhetoric of respect (Rousculp, 2014) practiced in community-oriented writing centers. These relational dimensions are especially important for new or small WEC programs that must flexibly build coalitions and one-with-one ties to foster a campus culture of writing. We present evidence from WEC’s work with the OU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Drawing on faculty focus group responses and curriculum development materials, we demonstrate how one curriculum specialist, guided by WEC, gradually initiated a departmental conversation through one-with-one conversations, coalitions with other teaching initiatives, and strategically chosen curricular interventions.","PeriodicalId":200684,"journal":{"name":"Writing-Enriched Curricula: Models of Faculty-Driven and Departmental Transformation","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121529543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a framework with roots in multiple disciplines that overlap enables WAC administrators and oversight committees to examine WAC programs systematically, even when they have developed organically over time. This chapter highlights ways that a WEC model can address threats to WAC programs’ sustainability, i.e., the complexities of higher education programs as they relate to administrative structures and leadership. The story of developing the WEC component of FAU’s twelveyear old WAC program is one of slow development, broad stakeholder participation, manageable growth, and limited scope. But it is also the story of an institution working through a systematic process of program building that is grounded in what Cox et al. (2018) call the whole systems approach to WAC program sustainability. This chapter traces FAU’s process as the first WAC program in the country to implement sustainability indicators as the basis for its formative self-assessment to track all facets of its WAC program. It also demonstrates how other such programs can draw on the whole systems approach for WEC program implementation.","PeriodicalId":200684,"journal":{"name":"Writing-Enriched Curricula: Models of Faculty-Driven and Departmental Transformation","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133810461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
