Abstract	In moves to fortify the discipline and articulate its value, does writing studies risk perpetuating narrow views of disciplinarity and academic writing? Drawing from an analysis of the intersections between WAC/WID [Writing Across the Curriculum/Writing in the Disciplines] and transfer scholarship in popular rhetoric and composition journals, I call for more direct engagement between these two areas of specialization. I argue that bringing transfer and WAC/WID together can craft models of academic writing that embrace--as opposed to erase--the complexities of students' lived experiences. I conclude by suggesting avenues for engagement between WAC/WID and transfer that can promote richer understandings of the relationship between writing and learning across transdisciplinary spaces.
