In May of 2016, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Writing Center staff was thrilled to learn that\u00a0our blog, Another Word<\/em>, which you’re reading now, received\u00a0the 2016 John Lovas Award, a major national award. This award honors the best use of blogs and other open-publishing tools of the Internet for knowledge-creation and community-building in rhetoric and composition. The award is given each year by the journal Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy<\/a><\/em>, which is the longest running e-journal in rhetoric and composition and one of the top journals in digital rhetoric.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The UW-Madison Writing Center\u2019s blog, which began in 2009, features weekly posts about writing center theory, research, and practice, collaboratively written by current members of the Writing Center\u2019s staff, including undergraduate and graduate students, and by alumni and friends of the Writing Center. In a typical month, the blog draws over 58,000 page views from around the world. The nomination for this award came from 39 PhD alumni from our department (led by Annette Vee, who is on the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh) and by other friends of our blog from around the country.<\/p>\n

At the risk of seeming self-congratulatory, we thought our blog readers might enjoy reading the letter nominating our blog for this prestigious award. We also thought this would give us a chance to thank Kairos<\/em>, our nominators, Rik Hunter who played a key role in designing and launching our blog in 2009, and the many, many authors and commenters who have contributed to our blog over the past seven years. Thank you all!<\/p>\n

The Nomination Letter<\/h3>\n

March 25, 2016<\/p>\n

RE: John Lovas Award Nomination<\/p>\n

Dear Kairos<\/em> Communications Editors:<\/p>\n

We write to nominate Another Word<\/em>, the UW-Madison Writing Center Blog, for the John Lovas Award. Launched in 2009 and orchestrated by Brad Hughes, the indefatigable Director of the Writing Center and of Writing Across the Curriculum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Another Word<\/em> has exemplified the knowledge-building and community creation recognized by this award in its collective authorship and its consistent public conversations about the teaching of writing. With 176 posts, over 1600 comments, and around 58,000 visitors in a typical month, Another Word<\/em> is a paragon of online public scholarship and engaged conversations about writing.<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a>
Our Writing Center’s blog, October 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The primary goals of Another Word<\/em> are to help with sharing innovative ideas for writing centers around the country and the world and advancing the field of writing center studies, to provide a publication outlet for the UW-Madison writing center staff and alumni, and to build and sustain a larger writing center community. Every post on Another Word<\/em> is written by a member of the UW-Madison Writing Center community, including current tutors both undergraduate and graduate, friends, administrators and alumni. Another Word strives to feature a diversity of voices and its authorship is truly collaborative. For many of the authors, writing for Another Word<\/em> is often their first experience in blogging. Posts range in topic from peer tutoring, community writing assistance, celebrating local events, productive silence, podcasts interviewing Writing Center scholars and practioners, neurodiversity in writing, writing retreats, U.S. writing centers from a German perspective, residential colleges tutoring, and so on. Every single post is carefully considered and polished and contributes to our collective knowledge about the tutoring of writing, theories of writing pedagogy, writing in the world, or administration of a successful and bustling writing center.<\/p>\n

Stylistically, posts take advantage of the blog medium: they’re cleverly titled, beautifully formatted, many of them embed photos and links, and most posts are heavily commented. The comments bear special mention: so that their posts spark conversation rather than speaking into a void, authors often round up the larger UW-Madison community and encourage them to comment on a particular post relevant to their work. To those of us in this community of commenters, these periodic invitations remind us of the intellectually rich training we received and contributed to at the UW-Madison Writing Center. We take a moment to stop our busy lives, read the post and reconnect with our rich diaspora of writing teachers. This sustained and public attention to knowledge-sharing and community-building evidenced by Another Word’s<\/em> writing process is deeply engrained in the UW-Madison Writing Center’s ethos, led so expertly by Brad Hughes for 32 years.<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a>
Our Writing Center’s blog, redesigned in January 2014.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another Word<\/em> is just one branch of the mighty UW-Madison online writing center<\/a>\u2014one of the first and one of the largest and most comprehensive in the US\u2014which offers support for student-writers across the university and others across the country and around the world through hundreds of pages of reference materials, online consultations, and the Writing Across the Curriculum site<\/a>. For the computers and writing community, Brad Hughes’ blog post on the UW-Madison Writing Center’s digital history is most relevant–and might be deserving of this award all by itself: “The Evolution of the UW-Madison’s Writing Center Online: A WayBack Look.” <\/a>The post lists a dozen ways the UW-Madison Writing Center helps writers online, and then launches into a fascinating history, a true media archeological dig. Beginning with a Gopher site in 1994, the Writing Center moved to its first website in 1995, which was designed by Brad and two grad TAs–who responded to an ad “to develop a new online writing center on the new \u2018World Wide Web.\u2019 This will require learning to use something called \u2018Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).’\u201d The post goes on with screenshots of the Writing Center’s frames-based site and others, podcasting initiatives, and then recursively features Another Word’s<\/em> launch in 2009. This post drew on collective memory, the WayBack Machine, published scholarship, and even Brad’s datebook from 1995, and was featured on the International Writing Center Association website in 2015<\/a>. As this post shows, Brad Hughes has been a pioneer in online writing center innovation for over 20 years, and under his direction, the UW-Madison Writing Center is still one of the most robust and creative users of digital technology to support the teaching of writing.<\/p>\n

Below, we will highlight a few more of our favorite posts from seven years of Another Word:<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0Glenn Hutchinson and Paula Gillespie\u2019s piece on writing centers as sites of activist work, “Mindsets and Partnership: University and High School Writing Centers”<\/a> is inspiring as a model example of how writing center research and practice can affect local communities in such positive ways. (Alice Daer)
\n\u25cf \u201cHow to Talk with a Student Who Isn\u2019t There\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 is helpful in trainings for instructors in our first-year writing program for the past two years. (UW-Madison)
\n\u25cf\u00a0Deborah Brandt\u2019s \u201cWhat\u2019s the Harm in Blogging\u201d<\/a> unravels complexities and risk in public writing, specifically in blogging (\u201cblogs foreground the difficulty of separating the private individual from the corporate body\u2014a difficulty inherent in nearly any kind of public, published writing.\u201d)
\n\u25cf\u00a0Mike Shapiro\u2019s \u201cThe Social Center: Why Writing Centers Need Twitter\u201d <\/a>argues that a writing center\u2019s use of Twitter must go beyond simply providing information to students regarding things such as appointment openings. Instead, Twitter can be used to engage with libraries, departments, and programs on campus as well as other writing centers. More importantly, however, Twitter can be used to build \u201cgenuine interactions with students\u201d and \u201cstart conversations with them about their writing.\u201d<\/p>\n

We thank you for your consideration of Another Word<\/em> as a valuable contribution to online public scholarship in writing.<\/p>\n
