The chapter examines the exploratory, unanticipated, and contingent forms of collaborative writing alumni engage in as they imagine, define, and create goals for shared writing. Chapter DOI: https://doi.org/10.36284/celelon.oa5.1 Discussion Questions How can instructors help students to practice collaborative writing that goes beyond “group work” and exposes students to the informal or serendipitous aspects of collaboration?
