Multiliteracy Centers: Writing Center Work, New Media, and Multimodal RhetoricEdited by: David M. Sheridan and James A. Inman |
||||||
David M. Sheridan and James A. Inman’s edited collection promises a glimpse into how writing centers can develop into multiliteracy centers to provide services for the 21st century student who engages in not only in written words but visual, aural, and verbal modes of communication as well in their coursework. Their edited collection fills a need in writing center scholarship for theorizing about multiliteracy centers. Sheridan and Inman note a shift in higher education towards increasing reliance on multimodalities and their affordances and calls for dynamic multiliteracy centers that can accommodate a range of student and faculty projects. The essays in the collection provide an overview into such an endeavor through the use of existing mulitliteracy centers and calls for the creation of such spaces. Multiliteracy Centers: Writing Center Work, New Media, and Multimodal Rhetoric serves as a repository of information for those interested in developing multiliteracy centers.

"This collection explores the ways that writing centers might position themselves in the context of this shift to 'multimodal' rhetoric." - David A. Sheridan (2) |
