Sweetland Fellows Seminar
Home > For Faculty > Sweetland Fellows Seminar

The Sweetland Writing Center Fellows Seminar brings together committed faculty and graduate student instructors from across LSA for sustained, advanced study of writing and writing pedagogy. The Seminar meets weekly for one term a year; local and national experts in writing visit the Fellows, working with them as a group as well as individually. To date, faculty and graduate students from a number of departments have participated in the Seminar: Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Education, English, the Sweetland Writing Center, History, Linguistics, Mathematics, Psychology, and Psychology and Women's Studies. The Seminar facilitates positive, focused attention on the writing needs of undergraduates. Faculty Fellows, chosen for their commitment to undergraduate teaching and leadership ability, ensure the development of department-based writing throughout the curriculum. In this way, the Seminar builds a long-term cohort of "writing leaders" among faculty across LSA. After participating in the Seminar, Fellows teach writing-intensive courses based on their disciplinary expertise.

To apply for Fall 2008 select: graduate student or faculty.
