• The Blog Editors’ invitation to dip into the global world of writing centers (direct link to the blog: https://wlnconnect.org/)
• Bruce Bowles Jr’s discussion of writing center assessment and the importance of focusing on improving, rather than proving, effectiveness
• Graham Stowe’s study of the ways writing center tutors describe the impact of social justice training
• Layli Miron’s overview of her center’s self-paced modules for tutor education
• A Tutor Column in which Nathan Gilmore, Grady Hudson, and seventeen consultants describe their prison-based writing center.
You’ll also find announcements of writing center conferences as well as the usual Conference Calendar of writing center conferences around the world.
Our WLN Resources section, https://wac.colostate.edu/wln/resources/, includes WLN’s recent Digital Edited Collection (DEC) on The Post-Pandemic Writing Center, plus previous DECs on tutor education, transfer, and wellness. All are open access.
We appreciate your interest! Feel free to get in touch with the editorial team if you have any questions or ideas!
