Graduate pedagogies and research literacies, and the teaching and learning of graduate student writing

Calls are now open for chapter proposals for an innovative volume on graduate pedagogies and research literacies, and the teaching and learning of graduate student writing.  This book will be published by Emerald in the series, Studies in Writing. The series editors is Gert Rijlaarsdam.  For details, see: http://www.brill.com/publications/studies-writing 

We invite proposals for chapters on the books' main topics from either a theoretical, or a practical perspective on the teaching and learning of post/graduate student writing both at the masters and doctoral levels.  Topics include:
	thesis/dissertation writing,

	teaching, learning and identity 
	disciplinary writing contexts 
	the embedded nature of graduate writing 
	supervision as pedagogy 
	issues of diversity, language and multilingualism

This volume will examine current research-based contributions on post/graduate research writing pedagogies.  We are looking for multiple perspectives, a variety of disciplines and multiplicity in terms of language and cultural experiences that focus on graduate student writing teaching and learning. Chapters will include theoretical insights based on and drawn from strong empirical initiatives based on research or practice.

Post/graduate research writing has become a key focus of research in academic writing.  With widening diversity, opening access and increasing flexibility of delivery, more students are being accepted into post/graduate programmes than ever before.  Graduate students need to write well and fluently in their disciplines since their academic success depends on it.  Graduate students writing pedagogies is a subject of increasing discussion, and this book will form an important contribution to the current debates.
