Scholarly Synergies: Collaborative Writing Publication
April 9, 2026
A recently published book chapter highlights the collaborative efforts happening in the English Department. "We are fortunate to be part of a department that brings together diverse fields, creating opportunities for meaningful collaboration and synergy. This chapter is a product of that environment, with contributions from folks in the Writing Program, RCTE, SLAT, and EAL" says Professor Hayriye Kayi-Adar.
Kayi-Adar is especially grateful to Writing Program faculty member Amelia Herb, who initiated this collaboration and provided leadership throughout the process. Working across disciplines continues to be a deeply rewarding learning experience for me, and I appreciate being part of a department that fosters such opportunities. You can read the chapter here:
