Written by professors of English, technical writing, composition, and related disciplines, these ten essays address contemporary institutional, demographic, and financial challenges facing writing centers. Emphasizing the contribution made by Muriel Harris' work, they present the centers as sites for research and pedagogy and discuss issues relating to history, assessment, tutor training, collaboration, administration, and special design.
