The fourth Writing Research Across Borders conference was held at George Mason University in Virginia during February 2011, and from the more than 500 presentations, 30 were selected and revised for this volume. They cover pedagogical approaches, assessment, writing at the borders of school and the world, writing the borders of school and professional practice, scientific and academic practice, and cultures of writing in the workplace.
