Dissertation Ideas

Dissertation, dissertation, dissertation. Who knows?? Not really! Hah!

My current ideas are completely related to the writing center discipline. I really want to write about accreditation, but I am also interested in applying business management models to the writing center arena, and the use of writing center web pages as additional media for fulfilling writing center missions.

To me, the most exciting aspect of this topic is that the writing center, as a whole, is a relatively new concept. There are a great number of writing center people who are supportive and eager to further the research on this topic. This community is absolutely the BEST for forwarding and supporting new ideas in a field of thought. I feel very lucky to be a part of such a unique community.


I just got a new thought! How could Facebook or Myspace be incorporated in the writing classroom? How about a writing center on there? Or how would a personal page for Edgar Alan Poe look? hmmm
