Top Tips For Writing a Blog Post in 30 Minutes From Lifehacker. #WalkMyWorld in College Composition. “In order to write about life first you must live it.” – Hemingway In an earlier post (read “What Else Is Possible? – A Pedagogy of Hope“) I referenced the #WalkMyWorld Project started by quite a creative group of researchers (follow @wiobyrne). Next week will kick off my First Year Composition (FYC) class’ submissions to the project, and I would be amiss if I didn’t admit that I am excited to walk their worlds.
I am hoping the project will help them identify opportunities for multimodal narrative expression. The project also fits nicely with my teaching philosophy of incorporating new opportunities (a pedagogy of hope) for multimodal composition in FYC. “The challenge is to make space available so that different lifeworlds—spaces for community life where local and specific meanings can be made—can flourish” (70). Exposing various lifeworlds through multiple modes gives students a greater opportunity to harness and communicate those lifeworlds and spaces we tend to not share.

In many science and engineering disciplines, it is customary for scholars to collaborate and for students to learn about research and publication by joining their advisers on projects.
In other areas, it is a more recent phenomenon and in many programs is likely more the exception than the norm. Collaboration with a more experienced scholar has much to offer those recently embarking on the academic career track even outside the physical and biological sciences, but since many may not understand why they should seek out such opportunities or may not be convinced by its merits, I thought I would address these questions head-on. In addition to deepening one’s understanding of the project’s topic, co-authorship is a fabulous way to learn about the quirks of academic publishing and develop the skills a scholar relies on throughout the academic career. It is important to distinguish between joining a project at the data-collection phase versus the analysis and write-up phase of a study.
