    "title": "Professional Identity (Re)Construction of L2 Writing Scholars",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Little research has  been conducted on the professional identities of L2 writing scholars despite  the increasing number of researchers, teachers, and graduate students  identifying themselves as L2 writing specialists. While the (re)construction  of L2 writing scholars’ professional identities have real consequences for  their career, the challenges and opportunities resulting from their work,  situated in several related disciplines, have neither been explicitly nor  adequately discussed. Through an analytic autoethnography (Anderson, 2006),  this study examines the cases of two L2 writing faculty as they (re)construct  their professional identities within their institutions and broader academic  communities. Using identity in practice as its theoretical framework, the  study provides a rich, in-depth account of how the focal L2 writing scholars  continue to negotiate and reconcile their professional identities among adjacent  fields such as applied linguistics, TESOL, composition, and education. Results  reveal that L2 writing scholars (re)construct their professional identities by  negotiating their identity positions within their institutional and  disciplinary contexts, by defining the boundaries of their professional  identities through community membership, and by participating in multiple  academic communities. Drawing on these results, the study considers how L2  writing scholars’ professional identity (re)construction reflects the  development of L2 writing as a field/profession.",
