Sandra Jamieson is the Director of Writing Across the Curriculum at Drew University, overseeing the course-embedded undergraduate Writing Fellows Program that anchors Drew’s vertical writing curriculum. She is the recipient of Drew’s Distinguished Teaching award (2025) and Will Herberg Distinguished Professor Award (2004), and teaches in the Writing and Communication Studies track of the English major, and in the Casperson School of Graduate Studies. Recent courses include theories of authorship, digital writing: blogs & tweets, writing for Wikipedia, travel writing, Intro. to Writing & Communication Studies, WAC tutor pedagogy, and the capstone course for all English majors. In conjunction with Drew’s Civic Scholars program, she regularly teaches a Drew Seminar on the complexities of civic engagement. At the graduate level, she teaches in the “Teaching in the Two-Year College” and “Teaching Writing” concentrations of the Doctor of Letters Program, and works with students earning a Graduate Certificate in Teaching Writing. She also leads study abroad courses, including as Resident Director of Drew’s Semester in London in 2024, and faculty advisor for international service trips with the Drew Honduras Project.

Recent publications include “Patchwriting, Plagiarism, Pedagogy: Definitions and Implications” (in Handbook of Academic Integrity, 2023), “The AI “Crisis” and a Return to Pedagogy.” (in Composition Studies 50.3, Fall 2022);  and “Developing and Managing Collaborative Scholarly Projects” (with Rebecca Moore Howard) in MLA’s Publishing and Scholarly Communication in the Humanities (MLA, 2022). She is working on a book about the pedagogical implications of artificial intelligence.

Sandra is a principal investigator of the Citation Project (a collaborative, multi-site, data-based study of college students’ use of sources in researched writing), and a co-researcher and US coordinator of the Partnership on University Plagiarism Prevention [PUPP] (a seven-year international research project exploring the ways college students select and use digital sources in written texts–in French and English–funded by a Partnership Grant from the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council). Research is underway — more to come!
