I’m always looking for pedagogical resources, as well as publishing/scholarship opportunities for faculty (and myself) to publish in, and there is a new open-access journal, Prompt. It is, as stated in the editors’ introduction,
a multidisciplinary journal focused specifically on collegiate writing assignments. This journal highlights the pedagogical process of crafting writing assignments and offers contextualized reflections on teaching writing in varied disciplines.
The first issue features writing assignments in cultural anthropology, history, mathematics, and writing studies, and they are encouraging submission of writing assignments across the curriculum. The introduction itself lays the case pretty well for why a journal like this is needed, as an attempt to bring together, in one place, resources for professors across disciplines, but also an opportunity to give an outlet for this kind of work as scholarship.
Of course, there are already a number of “scholarly” Open Access outlets for this kind of work now, such as JiTP, Hybrid Pedagogy, Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities, and Kairos’ Praxis section. One focused on transdisciplinary writing (broadly understood) adds to the growing number of resources and opportunities to promote pedagogy as scholarship.

Love like you've never been hurt

"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of
the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women
deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."
Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
