Description
Before I became the Mary Virginia Brown Writing Center Coordinator in 2006 at New Mexico State University--Alamogordo, I had not thought much about what goes into directing a writing center. I had previously tutored in a writing center and worked in a managerial capacity as chair of an English department. While both provided good experience in the pedagogy of composition and the theory of writing centers, neither adequately prepared me for the first issue I encountered: the nature of space and a writing center. Initially I was an interloper in the space because I was the first center director in several years who felt it was important to spend consistent periods of time in the Writing Center. Negotiating with the tutors to establish my own space became my first priority as it was essential that the tutors and I work toward creating a collaborative environment for ourselves and our students. This article will consider the concept of space in terms of my place within the space of the Writing Center, the theory of a writing center and its space on a college or university campus, tutor and student use of space within our Writing Center, and ways in which my tutors and I have created a collaborative learning environment.
