CUWP Fellows Write

As teacher researchers, writers, and advocates for the profession, one of the main ways CUWP Fellows have an impact is through their public writing. Each Fellow who participates in the Summer Institute works on a “public piece” of writing, many of which eventually become published in state- or even national-level professional journals. Fellows also work on “personal pieces,” which can be works of fiction, nonfiction essays, poetry, graphic novels, or anything else that means something to the writer. Many CUWP Fellows have gone on to publish their fiction and nonfiction work in public settings as well.

Proudly, we feature here the published writing of our CUWP Fellows — personal and professional pieces they’ve published since completing the Summer Institute. Please click on the included hyperlinks for access to the full article, where available.

If you are a Fellow and have published something you’d like us to include, please let us know!
