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 present our Summer 2021 issue, available as a PDF and web-based individual articles as always, open-access, on our website.

In our writing centers, attention and awareness are crucial practices. The pieces collected in this issue ask us to consider the ways we can cultivate our awareness toward actions that can influence the practices within our writing centers and influence how our centers engage with our institutions of higher education.

Finally, we here at Praxis want to moment to thank our readers and our most brilliant and diligent review board for their continued support. We’re all so grateful to be here with the writing center community, and we thank you all for being part of it, too.
