[CBW_Exec] CBW/CCCC Fellowship 2010

[Susan Bernstein]

Greetings everyone,

First, congratulations to Greg for all of your endeavors-- and the
bibliography looks great!

And now: Here are my comments on the agenda items:

Peace and warm regards to all of you,

Susan

Item #1: Sugie and Bill-- we need to email ASAP to check in about the social
justice policy.


Item #2:  Barbara Gleason and I would like to edit the next issue of BWe.
Barbara's proposal for this special issue is copied below.  I have already
consulted with Shannon and we (Barbara, Shannon, and I) look forward to
hearing your feedback.

FROM BARBARA GLEASON:
I would like to take on the responsibility of editing a special topics issue
of BWe on this topic: "multimodal literacies: learning, access and support
among students, instructors and institutions."  This issue could spin out of
the CBW workshop in 2010.  CBW  members could contribute ideas and also
their own manuscripts -- if they want to. The special topics call for papers
could be discussed at the CBW EB meeting and announced at the CBW SIG, which
I plan to attend.

This topic (as stated above) is  a rough draft of how the topic might
eventually be articulated. I would be more than happy to flesh  out and
form  ideas in collaboration with Susan and Shannon. The really good news is
that I could recruit current graduate students to assist with the editorial
process. They would learn a lot and BWe would benefit from their labor. As
you know,  I served as the managing editor of The Writing Instructor as USC
for 2 years. I have lots of experience  issuing a call for papers for a
special topics issue, manuscript review and selection, and communicating
with authors about suggested revisions. I would be able to teach students
about these practices and I'd love to work out a plan where you could mentor
one or more of our L&L grad students as an "editorial assistant"  either on
this or a future BWe issue.
