The Richard Wright Center for Writing, Rhetoric, and Research
RESEARCH
Thank you for your interest in our research.
In the Richard Wright Center for Writing, Rhetoric, and Research, we also conduct research into issues related to student writing. Our staff and tutors, undergraduate and graduate, participate in professional conversations in the field of Rhetoric and Composition and Writing Center Studies, presenting at state, regional, and international conferences and writing for publication.
We are currently conducting a pilot study entitled “Student Perceptions of On-Campus Writing Support in the Richard Wright Center” (IRB Protocol# 0036-25). In this study, we ask:
- Do generative AI writing tools affect student’s perception of the RWC?
- Do outsourced tutoring services (e.g., NetTutor) affect student’s perception of the RWC?
- Is there a stigma around “getting help” in the RWC? If there is, how does it affect student’s perception of the RWC?
If you have any questions or comments, please contact wonderful.faison@jsums.edu
