Re/Writing
the
Centerilluminates
how
core
writing
center
pedagogies
and
institutional
arrangements
are
complicated
by
the
need
to
create
intentional,
targeted
support
for
advanced
graduate
writers.
Most
writing
center
tutors
are
undergraduates,
whose
lack
of
familiarity
with
the
genres,
preparatory
knowledge,
and
research
processes
integral
to
graduate-level
writing
can
leave
them
underprepared
to
assist
graduate
students.
Complicating
the
issue
is
that
many
of
the
graduate
students
who
take
advantage
of
writing
center
support
are
international
students.
The essays in this volume show how to navigate the divide between traditional writing center theory and practices, developed to support undergraduate writers, and the growing demand for writing centers to meet the needs of advanced graduate writers. Contributors address core assumptions of writing center pedagogy, such as the concept of peers and peer tutoring, the emphasis on one-to-one tutorials, the positioning of tutors as generalists rather than specialists, and even the notion of the writing center as the primary location or center of the tutoring process.Re/Writing the Centeroffers an imaginative perspective on the benefits writing centers can offer to graduate students and on the new possibilities for inquiry and practice graduate students can inspire in the writing center.

Recenzii
“[This
book]
is
an
invaluable
contribution
to
writing
center
studies.
It
offers
nuanced
views
of
a
complicated
set
of
issues
by
addressing
practical
concerns
through
deep
research—both
empirical
and
scholarly.
I
come
away
from
it
with
a
renewed
excitement
about
what
writing
centers
might
accomplish
in
the
twenty-first
century—not
just
for
graduate
students,
but
for
their
institutions
and
faculty.”
