The Expository Writing Program has long held a primary role in strengthening the ability of NYU students to become more effective writers in their academic and professional lives. Our innovative pedagogy engages students in fundamental acts of critical inquiry—how to pose a problem, research and analyze evidence, anticipate the reader’s needs, and develop an idea of one’s own that clarifies its debt to others—while also emphasizing habits of mind that are essential for sustained intellectual and creative endeavors within the university and beyond. We implement and innovate experiential and inclusive teaching, including anti-racist pedagogy that addresses anti-black racism and other forms of systemic discrimination, and our courses strive to build an enduring writing community that serves the needs of a diverse student body. With 104 full-time faculty teaching approximately 300 courses every semester, EWP is one of the largest programs of its kind in the United States.
