Keynote Speaker: Nancy Grimm

Nancy Grimm is associate professor of Humanities and director of the Michigan Tech Writing Center. From 1990 to 1994, she, along with Diana George and Ed Lotto, was a co-editor of The Writing Center Journal. In addition to a number of essays and chapters about writing center work, her publications include two books, Good Intentions and Social Change in Diverse Teaching Contexts: Touchy Subjects and Routine Practices (with Nancy Barron and Sibylle Gruber). Grimm has twice received the scholarship award from NWCA (now IWCA). She is a frequent presenter at regional and national conferences. Since 1985 when she first assumed responsibility for the Michigan Tech Writing Center, she has led the Center through at least four major renovations in programming, staffing, and design. Grimm’s scholarship focuses on the tacit values underlying literacy education. She enjoys designing programs that allow students to negotiate those values in ethical and responsible ways.
