Writing faculty, writing program administrators, writing center professionals, graduate instructors, and related writing program professionals are invited to share their experiences with current institutional labor conditions and well-being.
Well-being and Writing Program Labor (IRB# 2026-80), explores workplace satisfaction, professional engagement, and energy management among writing studies professionals. The goal is to better understand how Writing Program Administrators can recognize and address institutional factors to support healthier, more sustainable working environments for faculty, graduate instructors, and staff.

- Support evidence-based advocacy, policy, and workload discussions
- Ensure writing professionals’ experiences are represented in national research
Participation is entirely voluntary. While there is no monetary compensation, participants may request a summary of the raw aggregated data after the survey closes.
