Noise from the Writing Center

by Elizabeth Boquet
$12.90
Noise from the Writing Center
Noise from the Writing Center

Challenging writing centers with pedagogical innovation.

If you're involved in education, particularly writing pedagogy, "Noise from the Writing Center" could shift your perspective. Elizabeth Boquet invites you to consider the value of 'noise' — embracing more dynamic, perhaps unconventional approaches in teaching writing. It’s a stimulating deviation from traditional methods, that might just resonate with your own educational philosophies or inspire you to experiment in your writing center.

Description

Boquet (English, Fairfield University) begins with what others have said about writing centers, dwelling on the clinic and lab metaphors. To this she supplies the metaphor of noise, exploring the relationship between noise and music to hear again what tutors, students, and colleagues have been saying about writing centers. The Rhode Island College is offered as a playful direction toward which tutor education might move. In the chapter, Channeling Jimi Hendrix, Boquet "Noise asks us to consider how and where the writing center echoes throughout the institution....noise positions the writing center as a site of amplification and of feedback rather than merely as a (waste) receptacle...."
