This collection introduces the reader to the ideas that have shaped
writing center theory and practice. The essays have been selected
not only for the insight they offer into issues but also for their
contributions to writing center scholarship. These papers help to
chart the legitimation of writing centers by providing both a
history and an examination of the philosophies, praxis, and
politics that have defined this emerging field. They demonstrate
the ways a clearer profile of the discipline has emerged from the
research and reflection of writers, like those represented here.
This volume charts the emergence of writing centers and the growing
recognition of their contributions, roles, and importance. As a
nascent discipline, writing centers reflect the concerns with
marginality and with finding a respected place in the academy that
characterize any new field of academic inquiry, practice, and
research. Concomitantly, professionals in these fields seek
standing within the academy and a way of defining and validating
their contributions to the educational process. Contemporary
writing center theorists look to interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary investigations to interpret the work they do and
to clarify their aims to the academy at large. Their work employs a
variety of philosophical perspectives -- ranging from
sociolinguistics to psychoanalytic theory -- to show the complex
nature and potential of writing center interactions. The idea has
now become the multidimensional realities of the writing center
within the academy and within society as a whole. What its role
will be in future redefinitions of the educational process, how
that role will be negotiated and evaluated, and how professionals
will shape educational values will constitute the future landmark
directions and essays on writing center theory and practice.
