They answer that question here, in the first book to combine theoretical and historical explorations with actual research on collaborative and group writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa Ede and Andrea Lunsford challenge the assumption that writing is a solitary act. That challenge is grounded in their own personal experience as long-term collaborators and in their extensive research, including a three-stage study of collaborative writing supported by the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors urge a fundamental change in our institutions to accommodate collaboration by radically resituating power in the classroom and by instituting rewards for collaborative work that equal rewards for single-authored work. They conclude with the injunction: \"Today and in the twenty-first century, our data suggest, writers must be able to work together. They must, in short, be able to collaborate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016573272304,"sku":"9780809317936","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809317936_p0.jpg?v=1763740545","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809317936","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
