Linguistics researchers who analyze academic discipline-specific language vs. actual writing practices and training for students in those disciplines will present. The intent is to improve pedagogy of writing in STEM disciplines. Faculty and students are invited.

This symposium is part of the Presidential Initiative for Interdisciplinary Research project called "The Language of Writing in STEM Disciplines." It continues on May 2 (8:30 a.m.-5:20 p.m.)
