| Abstract | Disarticulating conceptions of writers and good writing from the academy and elevating conceptions of writers as reflecting communities, as intellectuals with important ideas and images to share no matter their academic pedigree is of paramount importance to developing a sense of writerly self-efficacy, or "students' self-perceptions of their own writing competence" (Pajares & Valiante), in adult undergraduate writers. To do so, adult undergraduate students must be included and encouraged to participate in their postsecondary literacy curriculum and instruction if literacy courses, educators, and administrators are to honor and affirm the life experiences, resources, and intersecting identities that characterize adult undergraduates--that characterize "all" student writers. Research in lifespan literacies orients literacy researchers and educators to a more holistic conception of (adult undergraduate student) writers. Furthermore, community literacies research provides examples of wider, more inclusive approaches to working with adult learners that develop more localized understandings of the writers with whom they work. Building from work in these areas of writing studies, this dissertation project proposes an approach to understanding adult undergraduate writer experiences and identities that highlights the importance of localized understandings of students if institutions of higher education at large and literacy courses specifically are to support their ever-diversifying student populations effectively. Through a community writing group, this project aims to centralize adult undergraduate community writers' experiences to inform and ultimately enhance inclusive and culturally sustaining writing instruction in higher education.
