Hi all,

I wanted to make one suggestion for the title:

Race, Economics, and Basic Writing

I agree that the proposal looks great

Sorry about not being as involved in the revision process.  The proposal
looks great.  

I do think though that the poster session should emphasize race in its
title since the title of the overall workshop is "Basic Writing and
Race."  Perhaps a title along the lines of "Race, Locality, and the
Public Work of Basic Writing" would work.  To emphasize race more, we
might want to change a few of the details about what types of posters
the session would include, but I think the title is more essential.  

Of course, like my students, I'm coming in at the last moment.  The
concern with the title of the poster session is but a minor concern.  I
am impressed with the amount of work that has gone into this proposal
both from the board as a whole and from Liz herself.  Thanks all.

Great work!  I've massaged it a little and added in a quotation from a
recent article as grounding (perhaps better than just listing names
without articles and dates?).  See what you think.  I lost track of who
edited what, but I wanted to point out that I did revise a revision to
take out the discussion of class and gender.  While I know that we all
agree that race is inextricably intertwined with other factors, I wanted
to honor the specific discussion the editorial board had about focusing
on race (see board minutes and Hannah's earlier commentary on this
proposal).

workshop. I think focusing the publishing workshop on race alone
(publishing about race and basic writing) is too limiting when people
may have many ideas.  However, to Hannah's point about weaving race into
the overall proposal, I wonder about revising the open poster session
and asking for presentations on basic writing and race.  Our roundtable
is going to do a lovely job with this as well, but what if the poster
presentations focused on many different aspects of basic writing and
race?  If you like this idea, I'll revise that language.
