Transfer Writing Ecology

Welcome to the archival website for Transfer in an Urban Writing Ecology: Reimagining Community College/University Relations in Composition Studies. The book documents disciplinary transfer collaborations between Salt Lake Community College’s Department of English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies, the University of Utah’s Department of Writing and Rhetoric Studies, and many students whose educational experiences have spanned the departments between 2015 and 2021. This website is a living archive of those collaborations, presenting content developed during the period covered by the book as well as projects, materials, and mini-essays emerging from this transfer writing ecology since the book was published.
