Dr. Lauren Fitzgerald, director of the and associate professor of English at 麻豆区, recently co-authored (Oxford University Press, April 2015). The book serves as a guide for new undergraduate writing tutors, covering both the basics and theoretical and practical complexities of writing center work. It includes scholarship authored by undergraduate tutor-researchers as well as extensive references to and bibliographic citations of scholarship in the field. The book also cites research that both supports and challenges disciplinary common knowledge and contains assignments designed to support discussion, writing and inquiry.
Fitzgerald co-authored the book with Melissa Ianetta, director of the writing center and associate professor of English at the University of Delaware.
鈥淚n my 18 years directing the Wilf Campus Writing Center, the insights of YU students have continuously improved my own understanding of one-to-one writing instruction,鈥 said Fitzgerald. 鈥淢y coauthor and I have long shared an understanding of the importance of tutor knowledge to the growth of our field. This shared belief is what led to this project.鈥
