Just waking up here on the West Coast and just had a chance to read the IHE article. Thanks so much Michael for getting that particular ball rolling and then seeing it through. It was a wonderful moment to be there with all of you at this momentous time. Can't
wait til we have access to CBW-L to hear all the responses. My appreciation too goes to Bill and Shannon and Liz, what driving forces you are!!!
<div>Best,</div>

Basic writing has always been an important part of the CCCC and its membership, and it remains a crucially
important area of higher education and our continuing efforts toward access and the further preparation for all aspiring students. The theme of next year's conference--which focuses on both the positive and negative aspects of "gateways" and the transitions
students make as learners--lends itself to a strong focus on these issues, and I'll be working hard to ensure that they are represented in St. Louis.<br>

<div dir="ltr">While we wait to get access to CBW-L, perhaps I can share with you a proposal from Seth Kahn I just received via FB. Our fabulous new leadership (Liz and Hannah) will help us develop the best action plan. I'm just tossing this out there because
Seth sent the message. </div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">A little background: Seth chairs the labor caucaus, a group with many overlapping concerns to our own. It seems worth pursuing and highlighting these potential connections. I believe Seth is hoping to propose a featured Double Session that would
allow conference goers the opportunity for workshop atmosphere during conference itself so they don't have to stay an extra night or so and spend that $</div>

<div style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 7px">Shannon:<br>
<br>
I wasn't kidding Sat morning at Cs that we need to pitch a featured session for CCCC 2012. My current working (so to speak) title is something like, "Revisiting the Politics of Writing Instruction: Postsecondary" (riffing on the book from what, 1991?).
<br>
<br>
The idea would be to invite CBW, Labor, Adjunct, Diversity and other constituencies with overtly political issues/agendas to talk about the current state of the field in those terms. We'd have to flesh out what that means, of course, but ...<br>
<br>
I kind of have Chris Anson's ear these days, although he's so nice it's hard to tell whether he's just humoring me, but if you're interested in having a go at this, I'm happy to start rapping him on it.<br>
<br>
Let me know what you think.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Other suggestions I've gathered include: </div>

<div dir="ltr">1. A panel on the new bw (featuring research in BW, coming out now and/or soon). Steve Lamos, for example, and others we can suggest and to which Kelly Ritter has agreed to respond if interested in proposing this direction).

<div dir="ltr">2. Mike Rose, Lynn Troyka? </div>
