Description

I can remember clearly the moment I decided to focus my dissertation on the study of a writing center: I was in the reading room of my university's writing center, having been newly hired as a graduate student tutor. It was a slow day at the start of the semester, plenty of time on my hands to peruse back issues of The Writing Center Journal and The Writing Lab Newsletter. Amidst the words in those publications, I found that examining the teaching and learning that was going on in that writing center would bring together my interests in collaboration, tutorial support, writing instruction, and learning theory. I would study the writing center! Once I had made my decision, I then sought allies in Dissertation Abstracts, discovering Barbara Roswell and Joyce Neff's dissertations on writing centers, both of which offered me guidance on research questions and methods. Little did I know at the time that I was joining an effort that stretched much further back than the work by those two scholars in the early 1990s. I have since come to learn that doctoral dissertations and master's theses on writing centers go back to Essie Chamberlain's 1924 University of Chicago MA thesis, one of three studies of writing center teaching methods produced during that decade.
