Description
We here at Praxis are proud to present you
with our Spring 2018 issue, “Support in the
Writing Center.” For this issue, we have brought
together articles that examine a wide range of
student and tutor needs, with the goal of making
the work of the writing center and of education
more equitable, accessible, and sustainable. In
some ways, this theme may seem redundant;
writing centers are so often identified so closely
with “support” in education. Yet, those of us who
work in writing centers know that our work is
never static. As we continue to deepen our
understanding of what happens in our schools and
in our centers, and as we work to serve students
from diverse backgrounds with equally diverse
needs, the need to examine all of our potential for
working more effectively, both for students’ sake
and for tutors’ sakes. In our practice and in our
scholarship, we not only should but must strive to
explore each new avenue that grants greater
access. We must pursue and develop the skills that
keep all of us coming back to the center.
