Overview

In a landmark collaboration, five co-authors develop a theme of ordinary disruptions ('the everyday') as a source of provocative learning moments that can liberate both student writers and writing centre staff.

They push themselves and their field toward deeper, more significant research, more self-conscious teaching.
