Working Together, Writing Together
A Call for Collaborative Writing Support Structures
This contribution focuses on academic writing, especially for PhD students, and the support structures at German universities. Drawing on our own biographies and collaborative writing experiences we argue that the institutionalization processes of PhD writing support fall short as they rarely conceptualize writing as a collective endeavor. Rather, they tend to incorporate US-American models only to maintain the idea of the academy as a collective of autonomous intellectuals. The article describes existing writing support structures, discusses the needs of PhD students and postdocs, before closing with reflections on the benefits of understanding writing as (collaborative) work and how this could improve German academia.
