Abstract

Research shows that Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) reduce feelings of doubt and shame, increase overall time dedicated to writing, and boost scholarly productivity by cultivating social support and a sense of scholarly community. These benefits are especially notable for women and BIPOC faculty, who often juggle disproportionately heavy service and teaching loads with family caretaking expectations. In this POD Talk, the presenters will summarize evidence about the success of WAGs and share best practices for fostering these powerful, productive relationships at your institution, based on both existing research and their experience establishing WAGs at Fort Hays State University.
