Greetings everyone,<br><br>First, congratulations to Greg for all of your endeavors-- and the bibliography looks great! <br><br>And now: Here are my comments on the agenda items:<br><br>Peace and warm regards to all of you,<br>
<br>Susan<br><br>Item #1: Sugie and Bill-- we need to email ASAP to check in about the social justice policy.<br><br><br>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. <br>
<br>FROM BARBARA GLEASON:<br><font face="arial,helvetica"><font color="#000000" face="Geneva" size="2">
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. <br><br>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. </font></font><br>
