Black Perspectives in Writing Program Administration: From the Margins to the Center: Studies in Writing and Rhetori

Dr. Staci M. Perryman-Clark serves as the Director of the Institute for Intercultural and Anthropological Studies at Western Michigan University, housed within the College of Arts and Sciences. She is also professor of English and African American Studies at Western Michigan University.
Her book (2013) Afrocentric Teacher-Research: Rethinking Appropriateness and Inclusion, is a qualitative empirically-based teacher-research study that examines the ways in which African American students and all students perform expository writing tasks using an Ebonics-based Rhetoric and Composition focused first-year writing curriculum. As such, her work focuses on creating culturally relevant pedagogies and curricular designs to support all students' expository writing practices. She most recently co-edited (2019) (with Collin Craig) Black Perspectives in Writing Program Administration: From the Margins to the Center published by NCTE/CCCC SWR.
