Collaboration, Control, and the Idea of a Writing Center.

Lunsford, Andrea

Writing Center Journal, v12 n1 p3-10 Fall 1991

Advocates the move to collaboration in writing centers. Describes three different ideas of writing centers (as "storehouse,""garret," and "Burkean parlor"). Discusses where the focus of control lies in each. Urges careful examination of what collaboration means and how definitions of it locate control, to avoid reproducing the status quo. (SR)
