  • What research into writing center pedagogy is necessary to promote the writing center movement in Russia?
  • How can a writing center engage other stakeholders in the internationalization of education in Russia?
  • How can the Consortium empower writing center tutors and teachers of writing?
  • What models of writing centers are being developed in Russia?
  • How can writing centers as change agents transform institutional attitudes to academic writing in the curricula?

The NWCC will host the event, giving the participants space for plenaries, themed sessions, workshop/interactive presentations, panel discussions, roundtables, Q&A stations, and posters.
