The value of the support provided in a writing centre is well documented today in international literature. However, an area largely untouched has been how to implement social justice principles in the context of a writing centre. In many of the articles on writing centre support, mention is made of the fact that writing centre work is social justice work without fully defining the nature of the actual principles of this social justice. It is hoped that this paper makes a contribution in this regard. The paper begins by looking in detail at the concept of social justice, before identifying particular principles of social justice drawn from critical pedagogy that can be applied to the support provided in a writing centre. The discussion also integrates qualitative evidence gathered from a questionnaire administered to five writing consultants employed in a writing centre, as well as quantitative data generated by the online booking system used in the writing centre. An analysis of the data shows that these social justice principles are energised during the dialogue that takes place during consultations. Justification for this study stems from the need to see these issues, not as abstract concepts or as discussion tools for the experts who make important decisions but, as important in determining why and how they can be applied in practice in the writing centre.

提供学术写作支持的社会正义方法

如今,国际文献中已充分记录了写作中心提供的支持的价值。但是,在写作中心范围内如何实施社会正义原则是一个基本未触及的领域。在许多有关写作中心支持的文章中,都提到了写作中心工作是社会正义工作,而没有完全定义这种社会正义的实际原则的性质。希望本文在这方面做出贡献。本文首先详细探讨了社会正义的概念,然后确定了从批判教育学汲取的社会正义的特定原则,这些原则可以应用于写作中心提供的支持。讨论还整合了从对一个写作中心聘用的五位写作顾问进行的问卷调查中获得的定性证据,以及该写作中心所使用的在线预订系统生成的定量数据。对数据的分析表明,在磋商期间进行的对话中,这些社会正义原则得到了激发。进行这项研究的理由是,有必要看到这些问题,而不是将这些问题视为做出重要决定的专家的抽象概念或讨论工具,而对于确定为什么以及如何在写作中心将其应用于实践至关重要。对数据的分析表明,在磋商期间进行的对话中,这些社会正义原则得到了激发。进行这项研究的理由是,有必要看到这些问题,而不是将这些问题视为做出重要决定的专家的抽象概念或讨论工具,而对于确定为什么以及如何在写作中心将其应用于实践至关重要。对数据的分析表明,在磋商期间进行的对话中,这些社会正义原则得到了激发。进行这项研究的理由是,有必要看到这些问题,而不是将这些问题视为做出重要决定的专家的抽象概念或讨论工具,而对于确定为什么以及如何在写作中心将其应用于实践至关重要。
