Literatura Y Linguistica Special Issue: Writing Research Across Borders, Volume No. 46 (2022)
Edited by Chris Anson, Jonathan Marine, Federico Navarro, and Paul Rogers
El presente número especial tomó forma en un congreso internacional centrado en los estudios de la escritura: “Writing Research Across Bor-ders 2021”, patrocinado por la Sociedad Internacional para el Avance de la Investigación en Escritura (ISAWR, por sus siglas en inglés). Este evento en línea tuvo lugar a lo largo de dos días en marzo de 2021 en medio de la pandemia por COVID-19 y contó con 250 participantes de 26 países. Algunos de los temas que cubrió el congreso son: proyectos digitales transnacionales; aproximaciones a la enseñanza de la escritura; escritura multilingüe; escritura a través de los contextos o las culturas; escritura y cognición; trayectorias de escritura; evaluación de la escritura; iniciativas de escritura; formación de profesores de escritura; desarrollo de la escritura; y escritura científica. Esta conferencia virtual reemplazó a la inicialmente planificada para 2020, pero luego cancelada: “Writing Research Across Borders V”, la que había sido programada para realizarse en Xi’an, China, en el mes de febrero de ese año. Este evento era parte de una serie de conferencias internacionales organizadas por ISAWR dedicadas a la investigación empíricamente fundamentada en escritura y celebradas cada tres años.

Research on Writing: Multiple Perspectives
Edited by Sylvie Plane, Charles Bazerman, Fabienne Rondelli, Christiane Donahue, Arthur N. Applebee, Catherine Boré, Paula Carlino, Martine Marquilló Larruy, Paul Rogers, and David R. Russell
In February 2014, 1200 researchers from 60 countries assembled in Paris for the third Writing Research Across Borders conference. Although this book cannot convey fully the rich diversity of the gathering, it attempts nonetheless to highlight key questions which are shaping the current state of research in the field of writing studies. The contributors to this collection engage in a wide-ranging conversation about writing, a conversation made possible through a shared focus on improving learning and language usage. The chapters fall at various points, as a result, along a line extending from straightforward expressions of pedagogical concerns to focused analysis of how writing and texts work.
International Advances in Writing Research: Cultures, Places, Measures
Edited by Charles Bazerman, Chris Dean, Jessica Early, Karen Lunsford, Suzie Null, Paul Rogers, and Amanda Stansell.
The thirty chapters in this edited collection were selected from the more than 500 presentations at the Writing Research Across Borders II Conference in 2011. With representatives from more than forty countries, this conference gave rise to the International Society for the Advancement of Writing Research. The chapters selected for this collection represent cutting edge research on writing from all regions, organized around three themes—cultures, places, and measures. The authors report research that considers writing in all levels of schooling, in science, in the public sphere, and in the workplace, as well as at the relationship among these various places of writing. The authors also consider the cultures of writing—among them national cultures, gender cultures, schooling cultures, scientific cultures, and cultures of the workplace. Finally, the chapters examine various ways of measuring writing and how these measures interact with practices of teaching and learning.
