Active Research Interest

Seeding WAC: Do Interdisciplinary Writing Programs Prepare Emerging Faculty for Writing Across the Curriculum?

Since the late 1970s, colleges and universities in the US have used Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) as a mechanism to improve both student learning and writing. WAC success depends on faculty across the disciplines implementing these practices, faculty development initiatives. I am interested in the possibility that a select group of writing programs with an interdisciplinary teaching pool of emerging and recent PhDs form an alternative to WAC workshops. The principal hypothesis is that these interdisciplinary writing programs seed WAC by exposing future faculty in the disciplines to WAC pedagogies at a formative period in their own development as college instructors.

Current Projects

Cripps, Michael J. “Interface Literacy, Video Podcasting, and Project-based Learning.” (Work in Progress)

A study of student learning that explores the nexus of reading and writing within Graphical User Interfaces. The project is grounded in the idea that GUIs are texts that must be read if one is to write in digital environments. The project explores two specific aspects of the reading/writing nexus: the possibility that interface literacy is more than the sum of GUIs one encounters as one works in digital writing environments, and the potential value of the screencast tutorials as a mode of software or interface instruction.

Cripps, Michael J. “Code Switching, Hypertext Skins, and (Inter)Active Audiences.” (Work in Progress)

This paper explores the potential for externally linked Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) to enable hypertext authors to engage principles of visual rhetoric while simultaneously inviting reader involvement in the construction of meaning. In an extension of my previously published work on new media, this paper looks at ways that CSS enables the author to configure meaning, alter the logic of space, and adjust for audience stance, hybridity, and transparency. A version of this new media project was presented at the 2007 Conference on College Composition and Communication, New York.

Cripps, Michael J. “(Re)Writing Fellow Roles: WAC as Professional Development for Advanced Graduate Students” (Work in Progress)

The Writing Fellow role within WAC takes two principal forms at colleges and universities, the curriculum-based peer tutor and the writing-intensive course teaching assistant. While the former model is focused specifically on student support, and the latter is focused on faculty support, both models, by positioning fellows in a support/assistant capacity, fail to fully explore the potential for a writing fellowship to function as professional development for future faculty. This paper explores ways that one Writing Fellows Program is reconceptualizing writing fellow work in ways that matter for WAC Coordinators and graduate programs alike.
