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.

A study that must be read by all scholars and students of Joyce.
Since its appearance in 1922, James Joyce's novel Ulysses has
remained extremely popular, never having gone out of print. Since
the expiration of its copyright in the early 1990s, almost every
major press in the US and England has produced an edition of the
novel. This widespread public interest, in turn, has led well-known
literary critics--from T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound to Terry Eagleton
and Homi Bhabha--to attempt to explain the intricacies of the great
novel. Debate continues over even the most fundamental aspects of
its plot, characterization, and themes. Every year, more and more
scholars offer insights into the structure and style of Joyce's
writing, the significanceof his imagery, the consequences of his
ideological dispositions, the association between his fictional
representations and a myriad of cultural, social, and communal
institutions and beliefs. Merely remaining cognizant of the range
of views of Ulysses now offered has become a daunting task for any
student of Joyce, especially in view of the explosion of critical
viewpoints available to today's critics. While no single work could
fully synthesize all that has been written on Ulysses, this book
distinguishes the features of major methodological trends and
important critical studies that have shaped our sense of Joyce's
novel in recent years.
