The WAC-Driven Writing Center: The Future of Writing Instruction in Australasia?
Thomas, Susan
Across the Disciplines, v16 n3 p80-90 Oct 2019
While a national agenda seeks to make Australian higher education more inclusive for an increasingly diverse student population, the contribution that writing instruction can make to achieving these goals has been overlooked. This article outlines the rationale, development, and growth of the Writing Hub at the University of Sydney to advocate for writing center/WAC collaborations as the future of literacy and writing instruction in a culture where writing instruction is still largely viewed as product-based and remedial.
