Hi, friends. Please share this CFP with your colleagues,


 *Call for Submissions *

*Teaching Grant Writing: Deepening Learning, Deepening Engagement *


We invite submissions for possible inclusion in a collection of essays on
the subject of grant writing pedagogy.


Grant writing is taught in multiple contexts, both academic and
professional. A non-profit director attends a seminar on grant writing and
fundraising. Senior scholars in a lab train students and post docs in grant
writing. College courses in grant writing are increasingly part of
technical and professional writing degree plans.


Whatever the educational context, the teaching of grant writing centers on
a particular and complex genre—the grant proposal. This genre can be both
empowering and intimidating to students in their first experiences with it:
empowering in its ability to achieve goals —funds for scientific research,
for a non-profit’s mission, for an artist’s ability to create. Students
gain a highly marketable skill. But learning to write successful grant
proposals often means unlearning academic assumptions about what
constitutes good writing.


Teachers assigned to a grant writing course for the first time have access
to many manuals and “how-tos”—but these are about grant writing
itself, not *teaching
*grant writing. Resources on *teaching *grant writing are sparse and mostly
siloed in disciplinary contexts. We seek to develop a more broad-based
resource examining pedagogy, one that recognizes that grant writing is a
genre that spans disciplinary boundaries.


Thus, we seek essays on teaching grant writing from a variety of contexts,
perspectives, and disciplines. We welcome articles on both theory and
practice, with pedagogy at the center.


Potential topics include (but are not limited to):


   1. Grant writing course design
   2. Ethical concerns in teaching grant writing
   3. Issues of collaboration: among students, with community partners,
   with other disciplines, etc.
   4. Teaching of soft skills, such as professionalism, cooperation,
   interpersonal communication, etc.
   5. The role of reflection in teaching grant writing
   6. Challenges and possibilities for online teaching of grant writing
   7. Teaching grant writing as rhetoric: issues of audience, author,
   purpose, context, genre
   8. Discussions/Interrogations of models for teaching grant writing
   9. Disciplinary and interdisciplinary benefits and challenges in
   teaching grant writing.


While the editors are from the discipline of Writing Studies, we welcome
submissions from any disciplinary context—STEM, Arts, Communication,
English, and so on. We would also consider submissions from the grants
administration perspective, if the focus is on the teaching and learning of
grant writing.
