Writing Research in the Making
Saturday, February 5
8:00 am Registration & Coffee Phelps Courtyard
Book Exhibit Opens Phelps 1172
8:30-9:00 Plenary Session 1 Buchanan 1910 Chair: Paul M. Rogers, University of California, Santa Barbara
Conference Welcome Charles Bazerman, University of California, Santa Barbara "The Many Dimensions of Writing Research."
Writing is an historically emerged social and technological phenomenon that challenges our human capabilities and has deep impact on our thoughts and identity. Institutions of schooling, knowledge, self-development, and social organization have been built upon it, while it has affected almost all other major human institutions. As such many disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, life sciences, and even physical sciences have had an interest in writing. Gathering together all we know about writing and projecting lines of future inquiry require a broad and deep look into what many disciplines have to offer.

National Research Initiative Caucus Phelps 2524 (feel free to bring your lunch with you)
Caucuses are lunchtime events that allow people to build networks and plan future action. The National Research Initiative Caucus responds to recent calls for writing educators to consider nationwide research projects, and/or to begin connecting local research projects to a more national conversation about what our research is telling us about effective writing pedagogy. Saturday, February 5 1:00-3:00 Plenary Session 3 Buchanan 1910 Chair: Susan McLeod, University of California, Santa Barbara
Andrea Lunsford, Deborah Brandt, and Lee Ann Carroll "Longitudinal Studies of Writing: Three Perspectives."
Andrea Lunsford, Stanford University With Jenn Fishman, University of Tennessee and Erin Krampetz, Stanford University "The Stanford Study of Writing: Methods and Materials."
In this presentation, we will highlight some of the methodological problems we encountered as we attempted to capture a wide range of "writing" and some of the lessons we learned from what students submitted over a three-year period. If time permits, we will focus on several particular students and the writing they do both inside and out of class.
Deborah Brandt, University of Wisconsin-Madison "The Longitude of Literacy."
Most longitudinal studies in writing research focus on the literate development of individuals across time, often as a window into the contexts that promote that development. What is the use of life histories in understanding the longitudinal development of literacy itself as a cultural and historical force? This presentation will reflect on the value of autobiographical testimony as a window into the history and development of literacy.
Lee Ann Carroll, Pepperdine University "Corrective Lenses: Re-seeing College Writing Through Longitudinal Studies."
This presentation reports on research methodology and conclusions from a study following 20 undergraduate students from their first year to graduation, and shows how study conclusions may lead us to rethink purposes and methods in first-year composition courses.

9:00-9:30 Plenary Session 4 Buchanan 1910 Chair: Sheridan Blau, University of California, Santa Barbara
George Hillocks, Professor Emeritus, University of Chicago "The Obsessional Focus on Form in the Teaching of Writing."
The talk will review research over many years indicating the obsessional focus on form by teachers and textbooks. It will argue for a departure from that focus to attend to matters that research shows are more consequential for learning to write. It will conclude with a description of research that indicates that focus on content has far greater effects than the focus on form alone.
Sunday, February 6 9:30-10:30 Plenary Session 5 Buchanan 1910 Chairs: Sheridan Blau and René Agustín De Los Santos University of California, Santa Barbara
Tom Fox, Chico State University, Northern California Writing Project With Suzanne Linebarger, Pines Elementary, Northern California Writing Project "The Struggle for Respect: Literacy and Participation in Rural Schools."
This presentation examines the role of rural schools in economically impoverished areas, particularly the ways that these schools involve students as engaged participants in a community institution. The central preoccupation of this study is the value of this institution for students who struggle for the most basic material benefits. What does “participation" mean for these students? What can we learn from the success of these small schools?
Cezar Ornatowski, San Diego State University "Writing and Democracy: Teaching for Change in Poland and South Africa."
The talk will be based on a comparative research project focused on the role of rhetoric and writing in the political transformations in Poland and South Africa. The project was carried out over the last two years under a grant from the National Research Council of the Republic of South Africa and the National Scholarly Research Committee of Poland by teams from the Center for Rhetoric Studies at the University of Cape Town and the Center for the Study of the Antique Tradition in Europe at the University of Warsaw. The talk will focus on the diverse roles of writing in the remaking of the two national communities and particularly on their educational implications.

Sunday, February 6 1:00-2:15 Plenary Session 6 Buchanan 1910 Chair: Anne Whitney, University of California, Santa Barbara
Paul Prior, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "Re-situating and Re-mediating the Canons: Reflections on Writing Research and Rhetoric."
The five classical canons (invention, arrangement, style, memory, delivery) have continued to offer a framework for rhetoric although research on writing has often moved beyond them over the past three decades. Drawing on sociocultural theories of activity and practice as well as a growing body of research on literate activity in diverse settings, this talk proposes a grounded revision of the canons, projects lines of research that could flow from such a revision, and offers a brief illustration of such research from one current project.
Caroline Haythornthwaite, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Karen J. Lunsford, University of California, Santa Barbara "Challenges of Interdisciplinary, Distributed, Collaborative Research."
Although many funding agencies are calling on researchers to collaborate across disciplines and across computer networks, such work is easier said than done. In this talk, we reflect on some of the issues we have encountered and studied on our research teams. We contribute to collaboration theory, and we offer some practical observations for people who plan to undertake such projects.

Susan Jarratt and Susan McLeod "Retrospective Writing Histories: Student Writing across the Curriculum at Two UC's"
Susan Jarratt, University of California, Irvine, with Katherine Mack, University of California, Irvine A small-scale, interview-based study of University of California, Irvine, juniors reveals a sophisticated self-understanding of writing processes as well as some striking insights about development among students who have just completed their advanced writing requirement, but an uneven transfer of terminology, especially concerning academic genres, from required composition to upper-division courses in discipline-based writing. Some students reported a conceptual shift (a regression, in our view) from the "difficult" integration of writing and thinking that characterized first-year composition to the easier notion of writing as a neutral vehicle for delivering the content of disciplinary knowledge, although differences in students' majors (humanities vs. science, social science, and technology) became noticeable at this point. These conceptual issues are difficult to address at a campus where faculty in the disciplines teach advanced writing.
Susan McLeod, University of California, Santa Barbara with Paul M. Rogers, University of California, Santa Barbara and Sarah Hochstetler, University of California, Santa Barbara
This presentation will discuss the results of two studies, one at the University of California, Irvine, and the other at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The purpose of the studies, conducted in winter and spring 2004, was to determine how students make sense of their writing instruction over the years of undergraduate study, and specifically what kinds of connections they make between lower- and upper-division writing experiences. We will present our preliminary findings, and will also reflect on the virtues and limits of the research design we employed.
