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>
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>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>
