Bordered Writers
Winner of the 2021 Advancement of Knowledge Award presented
by the Conference on College Composition and Communication
Bordered Writers explores how writing program
administrators and faculty at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)
are transforming the teaching of writing to be more inclusive and
foster Latinx student success. Like its 2007 predecessor,
Teaching Writing with Latino/a Students , this collection
contributes to ongoing conversations in writing studies about
multicultural pedagogy and curriculum, linguistic diversity, and
supporting students of color, while focusing further attention on
the specific experiences and strategies of students and faculty at
HSIs. Although members of Latinx communities comprise the largest
underrepresented minority group in the nation, the needs and
strengths of Latinx writers in college classrooms are seldom
addressed. Bordered Writers thus helps to fill a critical
gap, giving voice to past and present Latinx scholars,
rhetoricians, and students, both in academic essays and in personal
testimonios , in four pivotal areas: developmental English
and bridge programs, first-year writing, professional and technical
writing, and writing centers and mentored writing. Across
contributions, the collection strives to connect all bordered
writers and educators, making higher education today not only
stronger but also more representative of the nation's population.

Service-Learning and Writing: Paving the Way for Literacy(Ies) Through Community Engagement
Service-learning and Writing: Paving the Way for Literacy(ies) through Community Engagement discusses service-learning as a teaching and learning method and its integration with writing. The various authors, from different disciplines and institutions, present service-learning as a means of having students practice writing in real world settings, and they show how relationship-building and partnerships between higher education and diverse communities produce benefits for all involved - the students, faculty, administrators, and the communities themselves. This volume demonstrates how writing instruction and/or writing practice can complement community engagement and outreach at local, national, and international contexts. Through different cross-cultural contexts and academic disciplines, the various authors explore reflection, assessment, internalization, diversity, and multiple literacies and their importance when integrating service-learning in higher education and community literacy.
