Axis: the Praxis blog

What happens when we write? Why do we teach writing the way we do? How does writing education engage with questions of race, gender, accessibility, and cultural difference? How does the writing center function as an interdisciplinary space?

Axis extends the writing center conversation from Praxis, our peer reviewed scholarly journal, into a public forum. Exploratory, experimental, and informative, the blog speaks to questions on the cutting edge of writing center theory and practice. Axis features writing from undergraduate and graduate educators at the University of Texas at Austin, and guest writers from universities across the United States.

We here at Praxis are excited to start our Spring 2020 Review Cycle. In the meantime, in case you missed it, please take a look at our Fall issue, Feedback and Input in the Writing Center. You can read the full issue here on our website.

Praxis Issue 17.1, titled Feedback and Input in the Writing Center

In this issue, we address the value of input and feedback from the communities the writing centers aim to serve. Although it is important to work on continuous improvement of the services the writing centers offer, we often end up looking within the writing centers to do that. This issue shows us the ways through which input and feedback from the outside can be helpful in reshaping and ultimately improving the services and behaviors in and across the writing centers.

As always, we want to thank our authors and our editorial review board, as well as the full staff at the University Writing Center at UT-Austin for your hard work and insight in putting together this issue. As ever, Praxis could not be what it is without all of you, and without our readers. Thank you all, and happy reading!
