Liliana M. Naydan, Maggie M. Herb, and Clint Gardner have written a new book, Precariously Centered: The Experiences of Contingent Women Writing Center Administrators (Utah State University Press, 2026). The book confronts the troubling intersection of gender and contingency in administrative writing center work. Amid increasingly distressing labor conditions in the early twenty-first century, Precariously Centered addresses how writing center professionals—and all academics—can better address contingency, the corporatization of higher education, and the patriarchy. It emphasizes the value of discourse about working conditions, intersectional solidarity, and organizing for labor justice.
