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 proud to bring you our Summer 2019 issue, “Breaking Down & Building Up in the Writing Center.”

You can read the full issue on our website, here. As always, we are open-access.

This is a collection of articles that all deal, in some way, with the way communities are built, strained, broken up, and re-built. We look forward the conversations these articles will prompt, and to the on-going community of Writing Center practitioners we are so thankful to be a part of.

We are also grateful to our dedicated review board, our authors, copy editing team, and the rest of the staff at the University Writing Center at the University of Texas-Austin for their work this summer in helping to bring this issue about.

But even as one publication ends, another begins. We are already looking forward to our Fall review cycle and our Fall issue. As always, we are on the lookout for submissions! All of the information you need for submitting to us is here on this website.

Thanks to all of you, too, for being Praxis readers!
