Abstract
In this chapter, Darvin and Norton examine the potential of collaborative writing between student and supervisor as a means of academic socialization. Drawing on the model of investment (Darvin and Norton in Annual Review of Applied Linguistics 35: 36–56, 2015), they discuss how investing in socializing practices within the academic community is located at the intersection of identity, capital and ideology. By challenging assumptions of academic roles and existing norms of scholarly publishing, student and supervisor can reframe their identities (Norton in Identity and language learning: Extending the conversation. Multilingual Matters, Bristol, 2013) and recognize the cultural capital that each one brings. This reconfiguration of power constructs a space where authentic collaboration can begin and where ideas are mutually valued and exchanged to produce a work that bears the inscription of both identities.
