- More about Understanding WPA Readiness and Renewal
Understanding WPA Readiness and Renewal explores how people develop readiness to serve as WPAs and how experienced WPAs find or create renewal opportunities, drawing on the authors' experiences as BIPOC scholars, LGBTQ+ people, graduate students, and adjunct faculty. It involves questioning inherited definitions and engaging in self-aware conversations about understudied fears and desires about WPA work.

Understanding WPA Readiness and Renewal delves into the experiences and journeys of WPA (Writing Program Administrators) and explores the factors that contribute to their readiness and renewal. This book, designed for WPA graduate seminars and professional development workshops, aims to address two central questions:
How do individuals develop readiness to serve as WPAs?
How do experienced WPAs identify or create renewal opportunities that support their growth throughout their lives and careers?
The authors approach these questions from their diverse identities as BIPOC scholars, LGBTQ+ individuals, graduate students, and adjunct faculty, as well as early, mid-, and later-career WPAs. Drawing from their teaching experiences at various two- and four-year institutions, they analyze the complexities, contingencies, and rewards of short-term and long-term WPA work.
The scholars argue that understanding WPA readiness and renewal requires challenging inherited definitions of these terms and engaging in theoretically informed and self-aware conversations that reflect upon and explore under-studied fears and desires about WPA work, from graduate preparation to preparing for leadership rotation and retirement.
This book offers valuable insights into the world of WPAs, shedding light on the factors that shape their professional development and success. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the field of writing program administration and the ongoing growth and evolution of WPAs in higher education.
