Conducting Consequential Research

Jenn Fishman ; Katherine Hovland ; Ali Leonhard ; Sunaina Randhawa

Abstract

AbstractThis article examines the value undergraduate research adds to writing centers in their role as anchor institutions within English and across college and university campuses. It focuses on a pilot project conducted by a team of mentored peer tutors who researched the accessibility of writing at Marquette University. Their successes and failures show how, beyond research findings, undergraduate research experience can be consequential for practitioners and their communities.
