The Consortium on Graduate Communication is an international organization established in 2014 to create a professional home for those who provide graduate students with communication-related academic support. The Consortium’s members provide professional development in written, oral, and multimodal communication to students before and during their (post-) graduate academic and professional programs. CGC members work with both domestic and international graduate students, including those who use English as an additional language.
The Practice, Pedagogy, and Programming for Graduate Communication series seeks to identify pressing issues in writing and communication at the graduate level as well as the ways those issues impact practice, pedagogy, and institutional program building. The series is a collaboration between the University of Michigan Press, North America’s premiere publisher of texts for and about graduate communication, and the CGC. The series aims to extend conversations and scholarship in the field of graduate communication support through practitioner-focused volumes that offer research-based and theorized resources including critical frameworks, innovative program profiles, successful pedagogy, and original research around graduate writing and communication with a view toward bridging the gap between theory and practice. Information for prospective authors is available at the Practice, Pedagogy, and Programming for Graduate Communication landing page.
