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

Andamiajes, 5.2 / SKRIB 2.1

Special issue for the 10th anniversary of the Latin American Writing Programs and Centers Network (RLCPE) and in collaboration with SKRIB, Critical Studies in Writing Programs and Pedagogy

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.
