Writing Reimagined
Decolonizing Academic Writing in a Writing Center
The demographics of our student clientele and tutors in our Writing Center have changed over the years, and we are imagining how new ideas and paradigms can be realized for the future as we work towards decolonization in the academy. In this article, we introduce our Writing Centre at a medium-sized Canadian university and explore multilingual tutors' experiences in tutoring multilingual students. Analyzing the tutors' reflections, we discuss the impact of the Western ideology of writing on multilingual tutors' writing centre practice and identity. We suggest that decolonizing academic writing pedagogy is essential to make our future writing centre more inclusive and equitable for the diverse demographic of student clientele and tutors.
