problem<br>with what you found. I have tagged all of the entries, so that people<br>looking for "BWe" will come across the blog page. The problem is that<br>when you click on the "BWe" tag at the bottom of an entry, you also<br>
get<br>the "Prayers for..." Apparently they use BWe as an acronym also.<br>So,<br>here are the options: I can retag as "Basic Writing ejournal" or<br>leave<br>it alone.<br><br>What would you prefer?<br>

> Subject: Re: [CBW_Exec] CBW Exec Board meeting Agenda +<br>><br>><br>> Hello everyone,<br>><br>> It's been great hearing about all the personal and professional<br>> developments of the last year. It's nice to get more detail here<br>
than<br>we<br>> would be able to get in a brief report before the exec board<br>meeting.<br>><br>> At Kingsborough Community College, last year was a very good year.<br>Our<br>> English Department, which offers many developmental reading and<br>
writing<br>> courses, was able to hire 8 impressive new professors. It's a good<br>thing<br>> because this year all of CUNY, like so many other institutions, has<br>a<br>> hiring freeze. A lot of good work is happening at Kingsborough, much<br>
of<br>> it in our Learning Community programs, in which students take<br>English<br>> and several other courses in an interdisciplinary block program,<br>where<br>> faculty from different departments collaborate to make the students'<br>
> learning more meaningful.<br>><br>> I am also on the faculty of the CUNY Graduate Center, and in the<br>fall<br>> of 2008 I taught a seminar for doctoral students on Narrative and<br>> Ethnographic Inquiry. It's wonderful for me to be working on both<br>
ends<br>> of the CUNY spectrum.<br>><br>> The Journal of Basic Writing has had another good year. Our Fall<br>2008<br>> issue is finally in print (I'll bring a few copies on Wed.), and it<br>> features a very impressive article by Sugie Goen-Salter and another<br>
by<br>> Brian Ray, the young scholar who received last year's fellowship to<br>> attend CCCC in New Orleans.<br>><br>> This spring, I'm enjoying the 2nd half of my sabbatical, which began<br>> last spring. Soon to be published (finally!) is a co-authored<br>
chapter<br>> written mostly in 2005. It's based on my work with Austrian teachers<br>in<br>> the City College M.A. Program and will be published online in<br>TESL-ej.<br>> The book on the history of basic writing, on which George Otte and I<br>
are<br>> collaborating, is progressing well. We hope to have a final draft to<br>the<br>> publisher sometime in April. I hope to talk with many of you in a<br>few<br>> days about your thoughts on the future of basic writing in the U.S.<br>
><br>> It was great hearing your personal updates. My big news is that my<br>> husband and I became grandparents last year. Liberty Mahala Evans<br>was<br>> born in July, and she is an adorable little person. I'm actually<br>
> babysitting for her today. I'll be staying with our daughter's<br>family<br>in<br>> Mountain View, CA, for the month of March to help out and enjoy the<br>> baby. Her latest accomplishment? Today she learned to clap her<br>
hands.<br>><br>> I'll be taking the CalTrain to San Francisco early on Wed. morning<br>and<br>> am really looking forward to seeing all of you at the CBW<br>Conference.<br>><br>> Rebecca<br>><br>> Rebecca Mlynarczyk<br>
