Description
For a special Spring 2019 issue, Praxis: A Writing Center Journal welcomes submissions related
to the theme of “Race & the Writing Center.” The complexities of serving traditionally under-served
students and providing equal access to education have been staples of writing center scholarship and
mission statements for decades. Yet the challenge to implement those mission statements remains,
and, Lori Salem’s 2016 quantitative study “Decisions. . . Decisions. . . Who chooses to use the
Writing Center?” urges all practitioners, revisiting and rethinking the pedagogy and practices we offer
to minority and underserved students is essential. The time to focus our attention on the way matters
of race and racial justice affect our work in the center has never been more ripe.
