<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Calibri">Dear BWe Editorial
Board:<br>
<br>
On behalf of Barbara Gleason, I put forward the following proposal for
a Special Issue of BWe on the topic "multimodal literacies:
learning, access, and support among students, instructors, and
institutions."<br>
<br>
Since it ties in so beautifully with the CBW workshop theme, we'd
love to get an approval so Barbara can prepare a CFP to distribute at
the CBW 2010 workshop and throughout CCCC.<br>
<br>
We've not done a special issue before, so we have no procedure for
approval. I'd like to suggest that we go ahead as it sounds like a
marvelous idea to us here at A&M-Commerce.<br>
<br>
If you can send us your thoughts before<b> March 5th, 2010</b>,
that'd be great. If we hear no objections before that date, we'd
like to give Barbara the go-ahead so she can begin developing the CFP
and conversations at her institution.<br>
<br>
--From Barbara Gleason--<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Geneva">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.
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 you 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.<br>
