Abstract

One way of helping faculty understand the integral role of writing in their various disciplines
is to present disciplines as ways of doing, which links ways of knowing and
writing in the disciplines. Ways of doing identified by faculty are used to describe broader
generic and disciplinary structures, metagenres, and metadisciplines.
