Carl Whithaus publishes in Written Communication.

Carl Whithaus, along with co-authors Jonathan Alexander (UC Irvine) and Karen Lunsford (UC Santa Barbara), has published "Toward Wayfinding: A Metaphor for Understanding Writing Experiences" in Written Communication. The article maps out four major approaches to the study of writing experiences: (a) worlds apart, (b) literacy in the wild, (c) ecologies and networks, and (d) transfer. Building on these approaches, Alexander, Lunsford, and Whithaus propose the concept of wayfinding as an approach that resonates with recent work on lifelong learning and meaningful writing.
