Our Research & Scholarship

We are proud of the tradition of writing center research and scholarship at UVM, which has taken the form of articles, reports, and conference presentations. Research enables us to adapt to changing needs, improve practices and pedagogy, and contribute to conversations in writing studies and writing centers.

This page will be home to a collection of our past research projects. It is currently in progress, but you can find our most recent project below!

Spring 2025 Research Project

Body

In Spring 2025, our service-learning writing tutors worked in groups to investigate the impact of genAI in undergraduate writing by focusing on the experiences of faculty, undergraduate students, and writing tutors and by reviewing existing literature about genAI in education more broadly and on writing centers more specifically. Each of these five research groups contributed findings and recommendations to a comprehensive report, A Changing Landscape: Generative AI in Undergraduate Writing.
