As a scholar in Writing Studies, much of the administrative\u00a0work that I do crosses the boundary between “service” and “scholarship.” \u00a0Directing a university-wide Writing Program, for example, requires constant research and assessment of local contexts, as well as knowledge of national research and best practices. \u00a0In 1987, the\u00a0Conference on College Composition and Communication<\/em> published a Position Statement on\u00a0“Scholarship in Composition.” Among the types of scholarly productivity recognized by this academic discipline are: curriculum\u00a0design, workshops and faculty development, and pedagogical\/practical applications. \u00a0(See: “Scholarship in Composition: Guidelines for Faculty, Deans, and Department Chairs.”<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In addition to my usual university service (departmental, college, and university committee work), I have had the opportunity to pursue substantial administrative-scholarly projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
