​Mid-Atlantic Writing Centers Association
2015 Conference​
Conference Theme: Sharing Spaces
By design, Writing Centers involve the sharing of spaces, internally and externally. They share theoretical space with writing studies, education, psychology, and other areas of study. They share territory with all disciplines that require writing. They share physical space with academic units or campus services. They share faculty with other departments. Within the Center, space might be shared by teaching faculty, graduate assistants, and undergraduate peer tutors. Within the tutoring session, tutor and tutee share a generative space of ideas and writing craft. We invite MAWCA 2015 presenters to explore these and other shared spaces of writing center work.
Please direct all questions to the conference chair, Jared Featherstone at feathejj@jmu.edu.
Conference Location
MAWCA 2015 will be held at James Madison University, which is nestled in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The newest addition to JMU is a Student Success Center, the host of the MAWCA conference activities. This building offers a shared space for various student services, including the JMU Learning Centers. The Learning Centers department centralizes six tutoring services on campus, using a learning commons model that includes the University Writing Center.
