Dear colleagues,
Just sending a final reminder that Cassandra Phillips will be facilitating a free virtual workshop this Friday (April 25) from 2-3:30pm Eastern, "Materiality and Writing Studies: Aligning Labor, Scholarship, and Teaching to Reach All Writers."
This workshop will present research from two of Phillips's recent projects, Materiality and Writing Studies: Aligning Labor, Teaching, and Scholarship (with Holly Hassel, NCTE, 2022---winner of CWPA's Best Book Award) and Reaching All Writers: A Pedagogical Guide to the Evolving College Writing Classroom (with Joanne Giordano, Holly Hassel, and Jennifer Heinert, USUP 2024). The session will build from research on knowledge production, teaching and learning conditions, and threshold concepts to help participants set goals for their own program around inclusive writing classes and programs.
Participants will be asked to reflect on their current teaching and program conditions in the context of national data and disciplinary issues. They will then use guided questions to conduct a program needs assessment and discuss how to translate their findings into action steps for their program and classroom context.
Please share widely! This workshop is free for members and nonmembers, so it's a great time to invite a friend. Please register by 4pm on Thursday, 4/24: CWPA | Upcoming Events
Sending all my best,
Kelly

CWPA President, 2024-2025
