The IWCA Research Awards Committee (Karen Keaton-Jackson, North Carolina Central University, Michael Mattison, Boise State University, and Elisabeth Piedmont-Marton, Chair, Southwestern University) are pleased to announce the recipients of the most recent round of research grant review. After considering an impressive and unprecedentedly large pool of proposals, we decided to fund two truly exceptional ones.

Zanice Bond de Perez and Moira Ozias of Kansas University will use a $750 grant from IWCA to help underwrite an oral history project that seeks to give voice to student narratives of difference and struggles to achieve social justice in the space of the writing center. Their work aims to challenge a dominant professional narrative in which the writing center comes to see itself “as already having arrived in an oppression-free promised land.”

Pamela Childers of the McCallie School will use a $750 grant “to research whether college/university models of Writing Fellows Programs can work effectively in a secondary school setting. By starting a Writing Fellows program, researching existing programs in higher education, and evaluating a year-long pilot program, I hope to determine whether the college model will or will not translate to the secondary level.”

We congratulate the winners and all the applicants on the quality of their research plans and anticipate hearing their voices in print and at conferences in the years to come.
