CWPA and TYCA Event: Mapping Programmatic Responsibilities

How can we partner across institutions and organizations to identify our commonalities and reframe how we discuss our labor? During this event, CWPA and TYCA leadership will collaborate with participants to reflect upon and map their programmatic literacy labor so that we're better prepared to support and acknowledge the programmatic work that is actually taking place across organizations and institutions. 

Join Joanne Baird Giordano, Cassandra Phillips, and Erin Lehman for this interactive session!

Disruptive Stories: Amplifying Voices from the Writing Center Margins

At this event, we will discuss CWPA's Best Book Award Winner for 2025, Disruptive Stories: Amplifying Voices from the Writing Center Margins, edited by Elizabeth Kleinfeld, Sohui Lee, and Julie Prebel.

CWPA's Best Book Award Committee selected Disruptive Stories for its transparent structure, responsive writing, and the intentional inclusion of diverse voices. Reviewers consistently praised the book’s approach to storytelling as both a methodological and rhetorical strategy. By centering the lived experiences of writing center  administrators (WCAs), the book sheds new light on the often-overlapping and underexamined dimensions of WPA labor. While the book’s primary focus is on writing centers, reviewers noted that the insights readily translate to broader WPA contexts, especially as WCAs frequently engage in curricular design, assessment, labor negotiations, and equity work—all core concerns of WPA scholarship.

Our EB Member, Daryl Lynn Dance, will be facilitating this discussion.

Crafting Your WPA Identity in Tenure and Promotion Documents

How would you describe a platypus? In some ways, that’s what WPAs are in our institutions. We are administrators–sort of, and we are regular faculty–sort of. This workshop focuses on helping you to think about how you account for your work as a WPA within the context of your institution’s tenure and promotion guidelines. While we think this workshop will be immediately helpful for folks going up for tenure and promotion in the near future, we want folks at any stage of their career (from early tenure-track to grad students) to feel welcome. It’s never too early to start thinking about how we present our work to others in our institutions.

Join CWPA EB Members Jacob Babb and Darci Thoune for this interactive workshop!
