Deadline for proposals: June 15, 2010<br>Notification by August 2010<br><br><br><br>We Are Not Alone: Strategic Coalition Building Across (Contested) Spaces<br>Serving Basic Writers<br><br>Access to higher education has rarely been more important or more contested.<br>In fact, colleges and universities across the nation find themselves no less<br>vulnerable in this fight for dwindling resources than the struggling masses<br>knocking at their doors.<br><br>In many cases, BW programs are the first to go (Soliday 2002, 2004: Greene<br>and McAlexander 2008; Otte and Mlynarczyk 2010). Long committed to serving<br>writers otherwise denied admittance, such programs draw their very existence<br>from increasingly contested spaces.<br><br>We are not alone. In fact BW?s very survival may depend on an ability to<br>recognize and build strategic coalitions across the same programs and<br>services with which a great many of us now compete?student support services,<br>TRIO programs, adult l
iteracy programs, ESL programs, and others across area<br>colleges, schools, universities, and communities.<br><br>Like many BW programs, these services identify with core objectives<br>including:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>? serving the literacy needs of first-generation and underrepresented<br>students, including underrepresented minority students;<br><br>? offering personalized instruction that both recognizes students?<br>existing strengths and promotes intellectual and literate growth;<br><br>? offering individual and small-group support designed to improve<br>student retention and graduation rates;<br><br>? helping students to meet linguistic ?standards? even while<br>recognizing and cultivating linguistic and literate diversity; and<br><br>? making campus environments, especially during the first two years of<br>instruction, more friendly, welcoming, and supportive to students from<br>diverse backgrounds.<br><br>At the 2011 CBW conference in At
lanta, Georgia, we invite participants to<br>consider-- invoking th
e conference theme??all our relations.? When<br>establishing productive responses to what appears to many as the systematic<br>dismantling of basic writing programs across the nation, how can we build<br>strategic coalitions with those we already think of as ?our relations? and,<br>perhaps, those we might currently think of as ?beautiful enemies??<br><br>In other words, participants at CBW 2011 will explore together questions<br>like the following:<br><br>? As a field, what are BW?s core values and objectives?<br><br>? Where might we find others who share BW?s core values, and what might<br>all partners involved gain from strategic coalition building? How can we<br>work with others who may not share all or even some of our core values?<br><br>? How might CBW help build and sustain productive relations and<br>coalitions across campuses, communities, and regions?especially as these<br>?relations? share and build upon BW?s core values?<br><br>? What resources (financial and othe
rwise) might BW programs and newly<br>formed (or well established) strategic coalitions productively target<br>together, and how?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>? How might we (including ?all our relations?) further establish<br>productive and sustainable systems for communicating BW?s core and common<br>goals (and needs) with campus administrators, community members, policy<br>makers, and taxpayers?<br><br>? Where has BW been? Studies like Kelly Ritter?s Before Shaughnessy<br>(2009) and Mary Soliday?s The Politics of Remediation (2002) remind us BW<br>didn?t begin with Open Admissions. What can we learn by investigating<br>different origin stories, perhaps those from which our own institutions? BW<br>programs originated?<br><br>? Where should BW be headed? Given increasingly scarce resources for<br>all Americans, what might BW?s future be? In all of this, what can the<br>Council on Basic Writing do to help?<br><br>? What has already been lost, who ha
s lost it (what communities? what<br>relations?), and what can we d
o to make these losses visible and tangible to<br>our colleagues and to the general public?<br><br>? What can we do in coalition with under-served communities to<br>regenerate improved and sustained access to Basic Writing for those who have<br>lost it? In what ways can we support communities that have lost the most?<br><br>? In what ways can the conversations and innovations of our field<br>engage current stakeholders in the higher education reform movement (such as<br>state legislatures, private foundations, and the Department of Education)?<br><br>? What can we do to improve working conditions and opportunities for<br>research and other kinds of professional development, for contingent<br>faculty, who teach the majority of Basic Writing courses at many<br>post-secondary institutions?<br><br>We invite proposals for panels and individual presentations contributing to<br>the CBW workshop theme as described above. We are especially interested in<br>proposals that balance the (
realistic) institution- and program-specific<br>constraints often placed upon BW programs and classrooms with serious<br>attention to issues and trends across the country. Specifically, we are<br>interested in hearing brief (8-12 minute) presentations that describe key<br>issues affecting local programs, classrooms, universities, and communities,<br>while placing those practices and issues in the larger context.<br><br>Accepted presenters and titles will be listed on the Council of Basic<br>Writing program, coupled with an official letter from CBW inviting you to<br>present during the Council on Basic Writing conference in Atlanta, Georgia,<br>on Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Multimedia and interactive presentations<br>encouraged, and CBW is especially interested in proposals from individuals<br>interested in building strategic coalitions with BW?including those not<br>currently associated with BW: writing program administrators for college<br>composition & advanced writing c
lasses; adult literacy educators/program<br>administrators; ESL/ELL
writing instructors/program directors; WAC<br>coordinators; international student coordinators/program administrators;<br>adult oriented college degree program instructors/program administrators;<br>policy-makers and activists.<br><br><br>We welcome submissions from those of you who are also submitting proposals<br>to the regular CCCC conference in 2011. Presenting at CBW 2011 will not<br>interfere with your ability to present at CCCC 2011.<br><br>Please submit abstracts to Shannon_Carter@tamu-commerce.edu and<br>hashley@wcup.edu before June 15, 2010.<br><br><br><br><br>--<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Shannon Carter, PhD<br>Associate Professor of English<br>Director, Writing Programs<br>Department of Literature and Languages<br>Texas A&M University-Commerce<br>Commerce, Texas 75429-3011<br>Shannon_Carter@tamu-commerce.edu<br>http://www.shannoncarter.info<br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: ht
