We also encourage submissions on this issue’s theme: Professionalization and the Writing Center. Writing centers provide their employees with a wide-range of skills and opportunities for professionalization both inside and outside the center. What transferable and professional skills do writing centers teach staff, and how is this training accomplished? Some article ideas include, but are not limited to: - Methods to promote professional development and investment in the writing center - Narratives about getting to a management position at a writing center - Using Praxis articles in professional development - Employing writing center skills as a student or as a teacher - Applying writing center practices in other professional settings - Writing centers as part of the corporate or bureaucratic transformation of the university Submission guidelines: Recommended article length is 1000 to 2000 words. Articles should conform to MLA style. Please send submissions as a Word document e-mail attachment to Patricia Burns and Brooke Hunter 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.
