The International Writing Centers Association is delighted to announce the selection of a new editorial team for Writing Center Journal:
Georganne Nordstrom, Professor, Composition and Rhetoric, University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa
Isaac Wang, Assistant Professor, Director, Writing Center, University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa
Sherry Wynn Perdue, Director, Writing Center, Oakland University
The incoming editors were selected because of their leadership within the writing center community, their history of supporting and serving IWCA and its members, and their extensive experience publishing in our profession’s most impactful journals, including Writing Center Journal, Writing Lab Newsletter, College Composition and Communication, College English, Praxis, The Peer Review, and others. The Publications Committee was impressed with the team’s vision for WCJ, including its commitment to diversity and inclusive editorial practices that prioritize pursuing scholarship from non-U.S. writing center researchers. The Committee also applauded the team’s plan for employing a formative approach to mentoring authors who submit manuscripts, while maintaining the high standards of the organization’s flagship journal.
Congratulations to Georganne, Isaac, and Sherry!
IWCA also thanks the Publications Committee (Co-Chairs Luke Morgan and Kem Roper and committee members Lisa Bell and Harry Denny) for the work they did to bring this search to a successful close.
