The material in this book is based on both research and practice that we have
been involved in over the last few years. It would be impossible to acknowledge
every source from which we have developed our ideas about university
writing, but there are those that do require specific mention. The quotes
from students are based on what has been said to us over the years in various
university settings, where we have worked with, and researched on, students
and their writing. The quotes from staff in Chapter 3 were based on interview
data collected during work carried out for the Teaching and Curriculum
Development Services at the University of Kent, UK. Research by Mary Lea and
Professor Brian Street (Perspectives on Academic Literacies: An Institutional
Approach), funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, was particularly
influential in our thinking. Some materials collected during this and
other research – for example, student essays, handouts and course information
– have formed the basis for some of our examples. It seemed inappropriate
to reference these directly because they were not ‘published material’ and
additionally they had all been made available for students. We hope that if
members of academic staff should identify too closely with particular assignment
questions they will accept our use of them in good faith as exemplars.
