Rooted in storying and testimony, Storying Writing Center Labor offers an inclusive, theoretically grounded, labor-oriented approach to writing center scholarship and praxis. While emotional labor and other wellness-related topics have long received attention in the field, issues of precarity, austerity, workism, and related concerns remain under-examined. Marrying ethnography and storying to uncover trends and circumstances related to writing center labor, this book offers insights into the lived working experiences of writing center professionals along with actionable items for creating just, sustainable, and intentional workspaces. Importantly, Storying Writing Center Labor tackles long-established labor issues in the field that have been and continue to be exacerbated by higher education's austerity politics and reliance on disaster capitalism to inform decision making.
