Synopsis: Ideal for both firstyear composition and interdisciplinary writing courses, Writing in Transit offers a twotiered approach to multidisciplinary writing. Author Denise Comer presents strategies and instruction for navigating the purposes for writing through riting transfer, which encourages students to reflect on what they learn in one context about writing, and about themselves as learners and writers, and then apply, extend, reject, or otherwise modify this knowledge for other disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary contexts. Writing in Transit teaches students how to build practical bridges between disciplines’ discourse conventions by learning about the research and writing process.
