Beyond Dichotomy - Synergizing Writing Center and Classroom Pedagogies
Steven J. Corbett · George Mason University
How closely can or should writing centers and writing classrooms collaborate? Beyond Dichotomy explores how research on peer tutoring one-to-one and in small groups can inform our work with students in writing centers and other tutoring programs, as well as in writing courses and classrooms. These multi-method (including rhetorical and discourse analyses and ethnographic and case-study) investigations center on several course-based tutoring (CBT) partnerships at two universities.

Critical Expressivism - Theory and Practice in the Composition Classroom
Roeder & Gatto · LibreTexts
Critical Expressivism is an ambitious attempt to re-appropriate intellectual territory that has more often been charted by its detractors than by its proponents.
