Call for Papers - Praxis: A Writing Center Journal
Spring 2007 Issue: Writing Centers and the Classroom

Praxis: A Writing Center Journal welcomes submissions for its Spring 2007 issue. We especially encourage submissions on this issue’s theme: Writing Centers and the Classroom. Articles on this topic may deal with any of the numerous ways in which writing-center work influences and is influenced by pedagogical and learning practices in the classroom. We invite contributors to interpret the theme broadly; however, some possible applications include:

• programs that assign writing tutors to specific classes
• writing workshops and presentations by writing-center personnel in classrooms
• how professors incorporate writing center services into their assignments
• how writing centers might collaborate with professors on assignments and pedagogy
• tailoring the writing-center consultation to specific courses and disciplines
• proposals for integrating writing center work and classroom praxis

Submission guidelines:

Recommended article length is 1000 to 2000 words. Articles should conform to MLA style. Send submissions as a Word document e-mail attachment to Eileen Abrahams, Jeremy Dean and James Jesson at praxis@uwc.utexas.edu. Also include the writer’s name, e-mail address, phone number, and affiliation. Because Praxis is a Web-based journal, please do not send paper; we do not have the resources to transcribe printed manuscripts. Images should be formatted as jpeg files and sent as attachments.

Deadline for Spring issue: January 28, 2007
