We do several kinds of collective writing: coding (e.g. what you are reading right now), papers (e.g. this one), lecture comments, our website, presentations and collective applications. We also organize shut-up-and-write sessions and sessions about writing where we read excerpts of our own or other peoples' texts, discuss examples of good and not-so-good writing, and we collectively reflect on what makes a text good or bad. These sessions take place in the Lab on campus or at the annual Lab retreat.
We like to turn nice activities into collective writing of presentations and papers.
As writing in the social sciences and humanities is often approached as an individual task, we attempt to turn parts of it into a collective process.
This is a political thing! We are open to collective rather than individual authorship.
