Writing Across Professions

Writing Across Professions offers a groundbreaking exploration of how writing knowledge and practices transfer across academic and professional contexts.

Drawing on multi-institutional research from the United States, Australia, Germany, and Singapore, the authors introduce Writing Across Professions (WAP), a model designed to prepare students for the diverse writing demands of global workplaces. This book explores the intersection of two key areas of scholarship, writing transfer research and work-integrated learning (WIL) research. The research analysed in these chapters examines how students develop writing expertise in professional contexts, the barriers they face as writers in the workplace, and the role of writing in shaping pre-professional identities.

This volume equips educators, students, and industry partners with strategies for teaching writing transfer, fostering professional identity, and navigating the evolving role of artificial intelligence in communication. This book is a vital resource for anyone committed to developing adaptable, world-ready graduates.
