WCC Faculty Coordinators Featured on Podcast

Janine Morris, Ph.D., and Kelly Concannon, Ph.D., talked about their collaboration on “Emotions and Affect in Writing Centers” on WLN: A Writing Center Journal’s Slow Agency podcast. Their penchant for collaboration also has been discussed on NSU’s Writer’s Edge podcast.

“Emotions and Affect in Writing Centers” contains 15 chapters that explore how emotions affect function in writing centers from the perspectives of writing center tutors and administrators. The collection has interest for anyone working with students in supportive roles, including administrators and staff in tutoring centers, writing centers and academic support services. The collection was nominated for a 2023 Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Book Award.

Morris and Concannon co-edited “Emotions and Affect in Writing Centers,” published by Parlor Press. Morris is an associate professor and Concannon is a professor in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences. The two also are faculty coordinators at the NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC).

“The editorial process was incredibly collaborative,” Morris said. “It was exciting to see the collection grow from the work we do here in the WCC.”
