Hello--I'm new to the listserv, and I coordinate the writing center at 
the University of Arizona.  I'm doing a research project on writing 
centers, and I'm wondering if anyone might know Nancy Grimm's email 
address (She's at Michigan tech, so far as I know). The research project 
is a part of a WPA course I'm taking, so I'm interested in the 
administrative issues of directing a writing center.

I'm also getting ready to take my preliminary exams(my program is 
Rhetoric, Composition and the Teaching of English).  There is some 
dispute about my reading list because my third list is titled "Writing 
Center Theory and Administration," which, some of my professors argue, is 
not "different enough" from List 2, "critical pedagogy."  I would like to 
make the argument that writing center theory IS different and worthy of a 
list of it's own.  It is more than a site for implementing 
critical/liberatory pedagogy--Like the WPA and WAC, it has it's own 
culture complete with journals, conferences, organizations.  The 
requirement for our third list here that it be "cross-disciplinary."  
Do any of you have suggestions/opinions about this?

Thank you,
