Abstract: This article initiates scholarly discussions of undergraduate research, an educational movement and comprehensive curricular innovation, in composition and rhetoric. I argue that by viewing undergraduate research production and authorship along a continuum of scholarly authority, student scholars obtain authorship and authority through participation in undergraduate research. I then address several implications of this continuum for the discipline.

TL;DR: In this paper, Grobman and Kinkead present a collection of the first steps being made to integrate undergraduate research into English studies and, even more important, to point the way toward greater involvement.

TL;DR: The authors argue that a professional communication program that combines in its teaching the ethos of a liberal arts tradition along with the practical skills needed by writers in the workplace is both desirable and possible but that it must be flexible enough to allow for ongoing curricular and philosophical negotiations to meet changing contextual demands.

TL;DR: In this paper, service learning in classes in multicultural literature confirm the positive possibilities in this pairing, especially in relation to advancing multicultural issues and complicating students' understandings of difference.
