Providing Community Writing Support Beyond Writing Center Spaces: Institutional Barriers to Sustainable Engagement

Abstract

Community members in vulnerable spaces such as prisons and homeless shelters receive little writing support compared to neighboring community populations in public access spaces. In this reflective article, the authors consider the institutionalized barriers that limit collaborations between writing centers and hard-to-reach community populations. Drawing on personal community engagement experiences, the authors wonder what place writing center tutors and administrators have in developing a culture of writing support outside of academic boundaries. Ke yw ords : community writing, writing centers, sustainability, institutional politics
