| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the leadership- and development-related issues associated with writing centers, referencing the papers published within the issue. Author Alice Flaherty, in her new book "The Midnight Disease," has described the time factor in writing services. This factor is also explored here. The papers contained within this issue are considered as an attempt, individually, to urge readers to focus on the binary principle that can interfere with a writer's ability to re-imagine productive futures in and around his/her writing centers. The paper by Anne Ellen Geller elaborates the work of organizational management theorist Allen Bluedorn. However, Geller's paper contrasts the hypothesis of epochal time. Epochal time means to the event that defines the time and where time is linked to a person's internal rhythm, or to an external social rhythm. Geller qualifies the time-constrained approach as an expanded form of the work of the writing conference. In addition to the papers, two books are also reviewed within the issue, namely "Virtual Peer Review: Teaching and Learning about Writing in Online Environments" and "Writing Groups Inside and Outside the Classroom." |
