There are writing centers at almost every college and university in
the United States, and there is an emerging body of professional
discourse, research, and writing about them. The goal of this book
is to open, formalize, and further the dialogue about research in
and about writing centers. The original essays in this volume, all
written by writing center researchers, directly address current
concerns in several ways: they encourage studies, data collection,
and publication by offering detailed, reflective accounts of
research; they encourage a diversity of approaches by demonstrating
a range of methodologies (e.g., ethnography, longitudinal case
study; rhetorical analysis, teacher research) available to both
veteran and novice writing center professionals; they advance an
ongoing conversation about writing center research by explicitly
addressing epistemological and ethical issues. The book aims to
encourage and guide other researchers, while at the same time
offering new knowledge that has resulted from the studies it
analyzes.
