Chris Thaiss and Stephanie Wade

Volume 5

Chapter Description

This essay aims to help students who have interests in STEM fields make the most of their first year by showing them how to find opportunities to explore STEM topics in typical first-year writing classes, as well as in the STEM courses they will take, and even outside of courses; how strategies such as inquiry-based rhetoric (IRB) apply to science writing in all situations; and how the work of equity, inclusion, and antiracism are foundational to science writing.
