Dr. Lisa E. Wright Reflects on “Radical Writing Center Praxis” by Laura Greenfield (2019)

Dr. Lisa E. Wright

Lecturer Lisa E. Wright along with Oklahoma State University Writing Center Director Anna Sicari reviewed Laura Greenfield’s text Radical Writing Center Praxis: A Paradigm for Ethical Political Engagement. Together they converse about  Greenfield’s theories and models that call writing center tutors and directors to be committed to social justice and antiracist work. After implementing some of what the text suggests into their monthly mentor meetings, Wright and Sicari were left with questions of responsibility and administrative policy in antiracist work. Ultimately, they conclude that Greenfield’s inspiring text invites the writing center field to think more broadly about ideas based in radical change.
