Texts of Our Institutional Lives: “What’s in a Name?”: Institutional Critique, Writing Program Archives, and the Problem of Administrator Identity

Steve Lamos

Abstract

When scholars write about their research into writing programs’ archives,they often face the ethical question of whether to name the administrators who were involved in documents. The author identifies and provides examples of three basic orientations to this issue, which he calls overt-historical, covert-qualitative, and hybrid-institutional. Referring to his own research experience, he ultimately endorses the third approach.
