Since our initial 2008 research on the everday language of oppression and poster presentation at the 2008 IWCA convention in Las Vegas, we have come a long ways in developing our thinking, research, and writing on the everyday language of oppression. Get the full scoop in our forthcoming WCJ article, and keep your stories coming.
Thanks to all of the scholars and tutors who have encouraged and challenged us into a more developed approach to this work.

Welcome to the Blog!
This blog is intended to be a forum for Writing Center tutors to share tutor experiences and discuss strategies to help undergraduate students recognize prejudices in their writing.
The blog comes out of our research presented at the 2008 International Writing Centers Association Conference Tutor Training poster session. While working with a student, have you encountered some sentences in his or her paper that sounded like prejudice? Prejudice is a preconceived opinion not based on reason or actual experience, and many kinds exist: racism, sexism, classism, ethnocentrism, and homophobia, among others.
How did you handle the situation? What advice can you give? Please share your experiences with us!
