The International Collaborations Committee works to fulfill AWAC’s mission to better support and grow Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) as a global intellectual tradition by collaborating with existing WAC organizations, conferences, research projects and scholars outside of the United States, as well as promoting new networks and initiatives. Through these collaborations, the committee is charged with helping AWAC members learn from WAC communities around the globe as well as facilitating opportunities for the AWAC community to share our AWAC-supported scholarship and practices globally.

Activities may include:

Supporting, financially and otherwise, AWAC member participation in WAC conferences outside the United States
Supporting, financially and otherwise, the participation of scholars from outside the United States in the presentation of scholarship associated with NCTE, MLA, TYCA, ATTW, AAUP, the WAC Clearinghouse, WAC-GO, IWAC conference, WAC institute, WRAB, and the CCCC WAC Standing Group
Advocate for AWAC funding to support international partnerships
Coordination with the Promoting Partnerships Committee to ensure international representation in AWAC partnerships
Providing an annual report to the Executive Board with appropriate recommendations and requests
Promoting collaborative international research projects and publications (journal special issues, edited books)
Developing regional networks affiliated to AWAC

Current chairs of the committee are Chris Anson, North Carolina State University, U.S.A., and Federico Navarro, Universidad de O’Higgins, Chile.
