How do they learn to write and develop as writers? Under what conditions and for what purposes do people write? What resources and technologies do we use to write? How did our current forms and practices of writing emerge within social history? What impacts has writing had on society and the individual? What does it mean to be and to learn to be an active participant in contemporary systems of meaning?This cornerstone volume advances the field by aggregating the broadranging, interdisciplinary, multidimensional strands of writing research and bringing them together into a common intellectual space.
