Centerless? Making Sense Of Disruptions In The Graduate Writing Center, Shannon Mcclellan Brooks

By tracing the contours of a series of interlocking disruptions the author and her graduate writing center community experienced during COVID-19, this article brings into sharp focus present colonial legacies inhibiting effective developments, moves, and adaptations to the GWC physical center space and praxis.

Writing Center Journal
Language expresses our values and identities, but in educational spaces, multidialectical and multilingual students’ voices are often silenced in favor of Standard English (Lockett, 2019).

Using previous research on multilingual students, linguistic inclusivity, and dialectical diversity, …
