Understanding WPA Readiness and Renewal (New edition 1)

'Understanding WPA Readiness and Renewal' examines WPA journeys and journeying.

Designed for WPA graduate seminars and professional development workshops, this book addresses two questions: How do people develop readiness to serve as WPAs?

How do experienced WPAs find or create renewal opportunities that help them move forward throughout their lives and careers?

Authors address these questions from a range of perspectives, including their sometimes - intersecting identities as Scholars of Color, LGBTQ+ people, graduate students, adjunct faculty, as well as early, mid-, and later - career WPAs.

Authors also draw on their experience teaching at a range of two- and four-year institutions to analyse the complexities, contingencies, and rewards of short and long-term WPA work.
