[CBW_Exec] CBW Workshop 2009

[Rebecca Mlynarczyk]

Hello everyone,

Thanks to Shannon for putting together this excellent proposal and to
Kathleen for her careful proofreading. I just have a couple of things to
add:

1. Most importantly, I think we should rethink the main title. At least to
me, it sounds dismissive of the competencies of "basic writers" (I KNOW this
was not the intention, but I'm afraid others looking at the program book
might see it that way. Like, there's so much they can't do, what CAN they
do? How about something more like this: Basic Writers In and Out of School:
A Conversation in Multiple Literacies.

2. In terms of my contact info, thanks to Kathleen for catching the typo in
Kingsborough; I would also like to have my Grad Center affiliation mentioned
in this part: Rebecca Mlynarczyk, Kingsborough Community College and the
CUNY Graduate Center.

3. Finally, on the other conversation, I am very enthusiastic about the CCCC
panel on Basic Writing and social justice and would love to be a part of it.
I am currently mulling over thoughts before posting them to that
conversation. In my opinion, this issue raised by Susan Naomi is the most
important thing we could be talking about at CCCC in 2009.

Warm regards,

Rebecca
