Center for Interdisciplinary Writing and Research

At the Center for Interdisciplinary Writing and Research (CIWR), we are creating opportunities for people (faculty, academic staff, students, and the broader community) to communicate about new ideas, explore ways of collaborating across disciplines, and diving deep in the life of the mind to improve how we write and research ideas.

We are in the process of growing and increasing our intiatives. Our two biggest projects: the Virtual Undergraduate Research Conference (VURC) and the Journal Florida Studies, are examples of the type of collaboration we wish to cultivate. We hope you choose to join us. Please use the links below to explore our current opportunities or reach out to work with us in developing a new initiative. We’d love to have you join our work!
