[CBW_Exec] CBW 2013--Important to READ and REPLY ALL! REPLY ALL! REPLY ALL!

[Lalicker, William]

Yes, I will contact Victor; Michelle maybe can contact Scott...Should we do this in any specific order, so that we don't end up getting YES from several of our good options (Malea, etc.) at once and then have to un-invite somebody? Or are we imagining that, as at some earlier workshops, we might three or more keynoters? --Bill

Liz and all,  

I taught with Scott Lyons when he was employed at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN -- but that was just one year, and it was also many years ago.   I'm not even sure where he's teaching right now.  He left Concordia to take a position at Syracuse, but I see (via a quick web search) that he's no longer listed among Syracuse faculty.  

Anyway, to make a short story shorter, ...  I can certainly try to find out where he's teaching now and ask if he'd be willing to join such a panel.   However, if someone knows Scott better than I do, that individual should make the contact.  I've changed my last name since I worked with Scott, so I'd have no immediate and useful name recognition.  

Michelle

You guys are AMAZING!  We are going to have a great year.  I've been listening to this conversation and I'm excited about the great ideas we have here, the ways this is pushing our work ahead, and the ways we are thinking of new ideas and new directions.  I also particularly appreciate Steve and Hannah's careful thoughts about what direction we should go in.


Thanks to Shannon for getting our new EB folks on the list.  I've added Wendy Olsen into the conversation since she and Steve may lead a roundtable for us. So, please do continue with "reply all" here so Wendy can see the conversation.


I'm going to attempt to distill this conversation to move us towards a consensus for the program so we can get invitations out to folks.  I think (?) this is a combination of the ideas we've passed around, spinning off of the text that Steve and Cheryl shared with us.


I think we've agreed that we want to focus on Basic Writing and Race.  Great!  


I think we should approach Victor Villanueva and Malea Powell for keynotes to start.  Bill, can you contact Victor?  Does anyone know Malea?  If not, I will e-mail her.


Steve and Wendy, I'd love to do a roundtable featuring both of you and your work on BW and whiteness.  Do you want to add in Scott Lyons?  People were very excited by this!  If you are willing to do the roundtable, I think it would be a GREAT addition!  Who knows Scott personally?


In addition to the keynotes, I think we should do the poster session again.  We don't need to work this out now, it can be a placeholder in the program and we can send to the CBW-L list later, as we did last year.  That worked well, but I want to give it a little more time next year--I think it was a little rushed.


I would also like to add in a roundtable on publishing and grant writing at the end of the day, since that's something we've seen interest in on the CBW Facebook page and other forums.  

If we do 2 keynotes, 2 roundtables, and an extended poster-session, we have a lovely program.


What do you think?


I have not included, here, Ian Marshall.  I'm very open to inviting him, but I'm not sure where he would fit in in this formulation.


What do you think?


Starting Title:

 "BW and Race: A Symposium"--not very sexy--any thoughts for making this stronger?


Liz
