Gabbing about Graduate Student Writing with Mandy Olejnik

In this episode, I talk with Assistant Director of the Howe Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Program, Dr. Mandy Olejnik, to discuss two different perspectives on graduate student writing—our experiences with being graduate student writers and insights for supporting and advising graduate student writers, drawing from Mandy's research and our HCWE programming on graduate student writing support. We reflect on some of the differences between writing as a graduate student and an undergraduate student, the affective elements of writing in graduate school, and the needed systems that advisors and faculty can help change and innovate to support graduate students.
