About the Journal

SKRIB: Critical Studies in Writing Programs and Pedagogy facilitates intercultural dialogue around the development of writing programmes, writing centres, and writing pedagogy in post-secondary institutions of higher learning around the world. SKRIB achieves this intercultural goal through its commitment to multilingual publishing, to diverse ways of making-meaning, to a commitment to EDID, and to an editorial team with broad international representation. SKRIB accepts manuscripts that use a critical approach to the study and practice of the teaching of writing, foregrounding issues of colonialism, globalism, capitalism and neoliberalism, racism, ableism, as well as issues relating to patriarchy and gender inequality.

Vol. 2 No. 1 (2025): Evolution of writing centres and programs

Devices (Dispositivos, in Spanish) for the teaching and support of the writing process are still a novelty in various regions of the Global South. However, it is already possible and necessary to study their evolution processes. In the Latin American region, for example, thirty years have already passed since the foundation of the UNESCO Chair for the Improvement of the Quality and Equity of Education in Latin America based on Reading and Writing, and more than two decades since the first writing center was created and the first research papers on writing studies were published. In addition, in 2024, the Latin American Network of Writing Centers and Programs (RLCPE) celebrates 10 years of building connections for joint practice among Latin American colleagues. In this decade, the practice we have shared has shown signs of growth, transformation, reconstruction and continuous innovation in the hands of writing specialists who develop academic literacies in a wide diversity of educational realities. 

The tenth anniversary of the RLCPE is an occasion to celebrate this diversity and a spirit of collaboration that transcends material and symbolic borders. In this sense, issue 5.2 of Andamiajes: Boletín de la Red Latinoamericana de Centros y Programas de Escritura has been developed with the support of the editorial team of SKRIB, Critical Studies in Writing Programs and Pedagogy. With this collaboration, we strengthen the steps towards transforming Andamiajes into an academic journal of international scope.
