520    Emerging from the International W.A.C./W.I.D. Mapping 
       Project, this collection of essays is meant to inform 
       decision-making by teachers, program managers and college/
       university administrators considering how writing can most
       appropriately be defined, managed, funded and taught in 
       the places where they work.   Writing Programs Worldwide 
       offers an important global perspective to the growing 
       research literature in the shaping of writing programs. 
       The authors of its program profiles show how innovators at
       a diverse range of universities on six continents have 
       dealt creatively over many years with day-to-day and long-
       range issues affecting how students across disciplines and
       languages grow as communicators and learners.In these 
       profiles, we see teachers and researchers relying on 
       colleagues and on transnational scholarship to build 
       initiatives that are both well suited to their specific 
       environments and can serve as regional and often global 
       models. Their struggles and achievements offer insights to
       colleagues in similar locales and across borders who seek 
       to establish, enhance and assess their own work as 
       designers of writing programs.  An introduction and three 
       section essays by the editors illuminate themes that 
       inform this collection. Growing networks of initiators and
       scholars and survey results from the International W.A.C./
       W.I.D. Mapping Project exemplify the argument of this 
       collection for transnational exchange and collaboration.
