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

Sat Apr 21 11:10:26 CDT 2012

i All,

I'm getting ready to leave (in an hour!) and will be off-line for all of next week.  If there's easy access to the Internet, I may check in mid-week, but I'm not going to promise if for now, since I'm not sure what I'm walking into.  I'm back on 5/1, which will give us another week to nail down the details.  

Thanks in advance to everyone for all of your fabulous ideas and comments.

Here's where we are right now:

Basic Writing and Race:  A Symposium

 Morning:

1. Keynote--hopefully Victor Villanueva (Bill, let us know how that comes along)
2.  Poster session featuring new scholars (call to come out later).
3.  Networking

Afternoon:

4.  Roundtable on Basic Writing and Whiteness)

5.  Publishing/Grant writing workshop.

6.  Reception again (if they're game?)

I was originally going to invite editors to do the publishing workshop, but I love Lynn's idea of making it a workshop.  We could have groups according to where people are at with publishing, ranging from ideas to manuscript critiques.

What do you think?

Liz

Hi everyone,
First, thanks to all for the welcoming words. I'm looking forward to
working with each of you.

As for CBW 2013, I also support Liz's idea of the publishing and grant
writing workshop. The Computers and Writing Conference offers a similar
session as part of the Graduate Research Network, and it's by far the most
valuable part of my conference experience there every year. I wonder if we
could model their approach and ask folks to bring ideas or research in
progress for a mentoring session on publishing.

Everything else sounds fantastic for next year!
Best,
Lynn
