Hacking the Curriculum, Disabling Composition Pedagogy: The Affordances of Writing Studio Design
Garrett, Bre
Composition Forum, v39 Sum 2018
This article argues that teachers and WPAs can "hack" standard curricular spaces and institute more inclusive writing pedagogies. One form of hacking can occur through the design of Writing Studio, a one-hour peer workshop that provides a necessary off-shoot from normative composition instruction. Writing Studio disables composition as standard practice and institutes an open-access curricular space that reconfigures practice as usual. Drawing upon key concepts from disability, this article shows how the studio approach promotes writers' interdependence, out of which develops writer agency and confidence.
