This contribution to our national discussion on writing studies and writing centres takes the long view, seeing recent events—reorganisations, reclassifications—as a chapter in the history of writing centres in Canada. It is a long view, but neither as long nor as broad as it could be, for it...

2025-07-10 17:50:27 | Contribuidor(es): Joel Heng Hartse | https://doi.org/10.31468/cjsdwr.628

Traditionally, the editorial note for an issue or volume of a journal would start on page 1—or even page I—but one of the unique things about an article-based, open access publishing model is that we assemble the issue on the go—so rather than “introducing” Vol. 27 of the CJSDW/R, I find...

I am thrilled to be writing 2018’s Year-End Editorial for CJSDW/R. One of the (many) benefits to working on an ongoing open access journal is that the editorial occurs after the volume is complete. This allows for a review of the year that considers how the published pieces connect to one...
