In addition to working with writers through consultations, 诊所, and interactive workshops, the 写作中心 is also a site of ongoing research. Recent and current research projects include

  • a study of causes of writing anxiety and strategies that can alleviate it
  • a study of ways that citation analysis, the methodology of The Citation Project, can be integrated into tutorials
  • a study of how writing-from-sources assignments frame research

If you would like to participate in this research, have any questions about our research, or if you would like to conduct your own research related to writing, please contact the 写作中心 Director, 伊丽莎白·克莱菲尔德.
