She served two terms as co-editor of The Writing Center Journal. Her work has also appeared in College Composition and Communication, College English, Composition Studies, and Writing on the Edge.

Dr. Boquet’s work resonates perfectly for those of us involved in IWCA and NCPTW. The role of innovation and imagination in her work, as well as her advocacy for peer tutors  makes Dr. Boquet the perfect person to address the 2014 joint conference.
