Writing Centers at the Center of Change
Writing Centers at the Center of Change looks at how eleven centers, internationally, adapted to change at their institutions, during a decade when their very success has become a valued commodity in a larger struggle for resources on many campuses. Bringing together both US and international perspectives, this volume offers solutions for adapting to change in the world of writing centers, ranging from the logistical to the pedagogical, and even to the existential. Each author discusses the origins, appropriate responses, and partners to seek when change comes from within a school or outside it. Chapters document new programs being formed under changing circumstances, and suggest ways to navigate professional or pedagogical changes that may undermine the hard work of more than four decades of writing-center professionals. The book’s audience includes writing center and learning-commons administrators, university librarians, deans, department chairs affiliated with writing centers. It will also be useful for graduate students in composition, rhetoric, and academic writing.
Sensemaking for Writing Programs and Writing Centers

Release Date: 2023-06-15
In this collection writing program and writing center administrators from a range of academic institutions come together to explore their work through the lens of sensemaking. Sensemaking is an organizational theory concept that enables institutions, supervisors, teachers, tutors, and others to better understand the work they do by using narrative, metaphor, and other theoretical lenses. The book is divided into two sections: Sensemaking with Tutors and Teachers, and Sensemaking and Institutional Structures. Chapter authors employ several theoretical approaches to sensemaking, ranging from individual experience to institutional history to document design, providing readers with ideas for how to administer and teach within their programs more effectively; how to advocate for their programs within larger university contexts; and how to positively influence the lives and careers of those they work with. Sensemaking for Writing Programs and Writing Centers theorizes daily experiences from working lives and suggests problem-solving strategies. Writing program administrators, writing department chairs, and writing center directors, tutors, and staff will find value in its pages.
Impact of Emergent Technologies on Writing Centers and Pedagogy
Emergent technologies reshape the landscape of writing centers and pedagogical practices in higher education. From AI-driven writing tools to collaborative platforms and digital feedback systems, these innovations transform how writing support is delivered, accessed, and understood. Writing centers are no longer confined to physical spaces, instead they evolve into hybrid or fully online environments that accommodate diverse learner needs and preferences. Pedagogically, instructors and tutors rethink traditional approaches, integrating digital literacy, multimodal composition, and ethical engagement with technology into their curricula. As a result, emergent technologies enhance accessibility and efficiency while challenging educators to critically examine the role of technology in writing instruction and the student learning experience. Impact of Emergent Technologies on Writing Centers and Pedagogy explores the impact of emergent technologies on writing centers and writing pedagogy in higher education worldwide. It examines the themes, concerns, and challenges emerging from different writing centers and their culturally and linguistically diverse responses towards the latest transformations in writing pedagogy. This book covers topics such as digital literacy, policymaking, and writing programs, and is a useful resource for educators, computer engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
