Storying Writing Center Labor for Anti-Capitalist Futures
by Genie Nicole Giaimo and Daniel Lawson
Practices and Possibilities Series
Copublished with the WAC Clearinghouse
Rooted in storying and testimony, Storying Writing Center Labor offers an inclusive, theoretically grounded, labor-oriented approach to writing center scholarship and praxis. While emotional labor and other wellness-related topics have long received attention in the field, issues of precarity, austerity, workism, and related concerns remain under-examined. Marrying ethnography and storying to uncover trends and circumstances related to writing center labor, this book offers insights into the lived working experiences of writing center professionals along with actionable items for creating just, sustainable, and intentional workspaces. Importantly, Storying Writing Center Labor tackles long-established labor issues in the field that have been and continue to be exacerbated by higher education’s austerity politics and reliance on disaster capitalism to inform decision making.
This book is also available as an open access ebook through the WAC Clearinghouse.

My Life With Literacy
The Continuing Education of a Historian
by Harvey J. Graff
Practices and Possibilities Series
Copublished with the WAC Clearinghouse
Calling My Life With Literacy a “new intersectionality,” Harvey J. Graff explores both overarching and underlying patterns that connected his development and lived experience from childhood to and through his retirement from the academy. He considers the inextricable interconnections of personal experiences and relationships; the political, broadly defined to include life-shaping contexts and historical events, influences, values, commitments, and experiences; the social, intellectual, and political dimensions of academics and scholarship—a life of learning and using literacy and literacies; and the circumstances of living in six major cities and studying and then teaching in five universities. Graff’s pioneering scholarship in the history of literacy and literacy studies provides both the frame and the foundation for his work in the history of children and youth; the history of cities; higher education past, present, and future; and interdisciplinarity itself.
This book is also available as an open access ebook through the WAC Clearinghouse.
