Partners in Literacy describes the process, research,
relationships, and theories that guided a three-year partnership
between the Purdue University Writing Lab and two community
organizations in Lafayette, Indiana: the Lafayette Adult Resource
Academy and WorkOne Express. This partnership resulted in a new
section of the globally known Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) and
the Community Writing and Education Station (CWEST), which featured
adult literacy resources in the areas of GED preparation, English
as a Second Language, and workplace and job search literacy. Using
an empirical and iterative design process, the authors worked
closely with their community partners to develop, test, revise, and
launch these resources. In Partners in Literacy, the authors argue
that writing centers can be effective spaces from which to work
with the community and that writing centers' missions of
sustainability, outreach, and research-driven practice can offer
valuable philosophies for civic engagement. To support this
argument, the book discusses the research methods and findings, the
process behind developing and sustaining the three-year engagement
project, and the personal relationships that ultimately held the
project together.
