| dc.description.en-US.fl_txt_mv | Five years ago, Colombian profesor Violeta Molina undertook a challenging task at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Cali: to create a Writing Center to support students in their academic writing processes. To accomplish her goal, she faced many obstacles, mainly the loneliness associated with the task. As opposed to American universities, writing centers are quite new in Latin America and their founders had to use their wits to organize them, without too many regional references. With approximately 7000 undergraduate and graduate students, the Javeriana University was a pioneer in the creation of these centres. Under the motto “We make better writers, not better papers”, it receives 500 inquiries per semester, both from students and professors. Every year, the center trains tutors, who are the driving force of this proposal. In 2013, the Center celebrated its five years with the first Latin American Conference of Writing Centers. This gathering was attended by scholars, researchers and directors of writing centers and writing programs from Chile, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia and Uruguay. At the Javeriana's beautiful campus, Molina talked with dixit about her work at the Writing Center and the task of building and communicating knowledge. |

Para lograrlo enfrentó varios obstáculos, pero el principal fue la soledad de su tarea. Al contrario de lo que sucede en las universidades norteamericanas, los centros de escritura son muy jóvenes en Latinoamérica, y quienes los han llevado adelante han debido ingeniarse para organizarlos sin demasiados referentes regionales. 1 Con alrededor de 7000 estudiantes entre grado y posgrado, la Universidad Javeriana fue de las pioneras en crear uno de estos centros. Bajo el lema “Hacemos mejores escritores, no mejores escritos”, atiende por semestre 500 consultas de estudiantes y profesores, y forma todos los años tutores que son el motor de la propuesta. En el 2013 el Centro festejó sus primeros cinco años con el Primer Congreso Latinoamericano de Centros de Escritura. Este encuentro contó con la presencia de académicos, investigadores y directores de centros y programas de escritura, provenientes de Chile, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, México, Colombia y Uruguay. En el hermoso campus de la Universidad Javeriana, Molina conversó con dixit sobre su trabajo en el Centro de Escritura y sobre la tarea de construir y comunicar el saber. |
