Description
Our goal is to inspire other tutors to be more creative in communicating, educating, and enriching the environment of the writing center. We hope other tutors will better internalize theory through art.
In her story "The Spirit Indeed is Willing", Carrie projected her experience in the writing center into a literary form to better embody the complex relationship between the tutor and student, and to represent heteroglossia in the writing center.
Abigail, in writing "How to Tutor Reluctant Writers", sought to find a new way to illustrate theories in practice. By embracing the relatively new form of the informal comic, Abigail hopes to make theory more accessible and interesting.
We believe our contributions are relevant to this conference because they are artistic renderings, and are by nature innovative. As art pieces, these contributions manifest the theories and practices discussed in writing center discourse.
