Synergy, Innovation, & the Writing Center

Collaboration.  It may just be the most influential concept for writing center work.  Administrators assign readings with it in the title; tutors use it to describe their sessions; faculty (if we do our job well) understand it to be the foundational principle behind student/tutor interactions.  Collaboration is the cement that holds the whole structure together.  It is powerful.  But we wonder, have we become so comfortable and familiar with the term that it has lost some of its resonance?  

For MAWCA 2016, we would like to breathe new life into the concept of collaboration by exploring how the collaborative nature of writing center work is also synergistic and innovative.  Certainly, we’d like to explore the synergy and innovation happening in the writing center and extending out from the writing center; moreover, we’d like also to probe what we might learn from disciplines, industry, and the broader community outside of the writing center.
