Writing beyond the academy
Despite increasing expectations for scholars to communicate their research to the public, and the advanced communicative skills this expectation requires, research in genre pedagogy has almost exclusively targeted academic writing. Our aim was to design and trial a “multi-genre task”, a task sequence that incorporates working with academic and outreach genres concurrently. This task combined examples of two genres tied to different social context…

Scaffolding L2 Academic Reading and Self‐Regulation Through Task and Feedback
Research has shown that classroom‐based reading strategy training does not necessarily result in effective, self‐regulated reading behaviours when students engage with authentic academic reading in their own study contexts. In light of this problem, our study examines the effects of an instructional scaffold combined with teacher feedback, designed to foster students’ self‐regulation in authentic academic reading contexts. Over a 5‐week period, s…

This study explores the lived experiences on campus of five female undergraduate students of colour. Drawing on a critical race theory perspective and inspired by CRiT walking, walking interviews were conducted to give voice to the students’ experiences of marginalisation, both metaphorical and physical. The findings reveal how whiteness impacts on participants’ negotiation of university spaces; how the ‘white gaze’ influences their geographies; …

The Theoretical Research Article as a Reflection of Disciplinary Practices
Recent years have seen an interest in the generic structure of empirical research articles across a variety of disciplines. However, significantly less attention has been given to theoretical articles. This study aims to begin to address this imbalance by presenting the results of an investigation into the organizational and rhetorical structure of theoretical pure mathematics research articles. The data set combines a close analysis of 22 peer-r…
Taming Tyrannosaurus rex
We investigate the current position of English in the language ecology of Swedish academia, with a special focus on the humanities. Semi-structured interviews with 15 informants from the fields of Anthropology, General Linguistics and History were carried out to explore how non-native speakers of English experience using academic English in their research. In contrast to other recent findings, our study shows that while some differences along dis…
