In this presentation three writing center practitioners from the 91精品黑料吃瓜M Writing Center will engage the question: How can the writing center serve our students by participating in the re-centering of sovereignty and decolonization of educational institutions? We will trace the evolution of the center since 2012 and discuss specific practices enacted to recognize and act out our kuleana to the 惭腻苍辞补 l膩hui and at the same time support writing across the campus. / Dr. Georganne Nordstrom is an Associate Professor of Composition and Rhetoric and Associate Chair of the English Department at 91精品黑料吃瓜M, where she directed the 91精品黑料吃瓜M Writing Center for seven years. Georganne currently serves as the Vice President of the International Writing Center Association, and her recent book, A Practitioners Inquiry into Collaboration: Research, Practice, & Pedagogy (Routledge Press 2021), draws from Kanaka Maoli concepts to foreground ethical approaches for conducting empirical work in writing centers. / Kalilinoe Detwiler is a Kanaka 驶艑iwi Graduate Assistant at the 91精品黑料吃瓜M Writing Center where she serves as a writing consultant, Center Coordinator, and Web/PR Coordinator. She proposed the project 鈥淎 Decolonial WC: Sustaining Ea鈥 to familiarize consultants with 驶艑iwi knowledge and resources that support student writing in Hawai驶i. / Kayla Watabu is a second-year Master鈥檚 student working with the 91精品黑料吃瓜M Writing Center as a writing consultant and Research Coordinator.
