Aims and Scope

​​​​​MENA Writing Studies Journal is an international journal dedicated to pedagogies and theories of writing across languages in the MENA region and with the diaspora student. We are an inclusive publication of empirical research, theory, and praxis on writing studies. As such, we highlight timely research of writing across disciplines and the curriculum, and in higher education, primary and secondary education, and outside traditional academia. 

Our goals include the engendering of conversations across writing studies in the MENA region, and then forging the ongoing communication through engaging in each other’s scholarly activity and activism. We hope to bridge conversations across diverse regions, languages, and individuals, as well as among those teaching writing at any level institutionally or otherwise. 

We are open to publishing a wide range of research fitting into "writing studies." Some topics of interest include, and are not limited to, translingualism, transnationalism, literacy studies, technology mediation, writing center work, writing program administration, WAC/WID, assessment and placement, writing and the community, processes and production.  ​​
