It would be easy to assume that our students write, or aim to write, the way we do. after all, we, their instructors, provide them with models and sustained tutelage. Yet, while many students learn to negotiate the genres and conventions of specific disciplines as they proceed through college, their writing also moves beyond the concepts and practices we offer because they have views and desires of their own. A look at history reveals that students' concepts and practices have, in fact, long shaped the ways writing is approached in the academy, and consideration of a recent longitudinal study demonstrates some of the ways students continue that shaping process. he academy, then, offers a space of mutual influence where the expectations and goals of faculty members intersect with the interests and practices of student writers.
