<div><font face="tahoma">The two of us could take the lead in putting together a roundtable of five or six good folks drawn from among those we have discussed on the list so far.

member would go to an individual table to facilitate five or six small discussion groups relevant to their issue for 20 minutes or so.
</font><font face="tahoma">Finally, we'd bring everyone back for large-group summation / discussion for another 10-15 minutes. </font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma">The whole thing would take between 60 and 75 minutes, thus also allowing time for the kinds of activities and issues that Michael, Lynn, and others have mentioned.</font></div>

<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div>First, thanks to all for the welcoming words. I'm looking forward to working with each of you.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As for CBW 2013, I also support Liz's idea of the publishing and grant writing workshop. The Computers and Writing Conference offers a similar session as part of the Graduate Research Network, and it's by far the most valuable part of my conference experience
there every year. I wonder if we could model their approach and ask folks to bring ideas or research in progress for a mentoring session on publishing.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Everything else sounds fantastic for next year! <br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Lynn<br>

Liz and colleagues,<br>
<br>
I write in support of Liz's idea of the publishing and grant writing workshop. The 4th edition of _Teaching Developmental Writing_ will be available for Cs 2012 and I can ask Bedford if they would be willing to provide copies for all attendees. In addition,
I would be happy to assist in facilitating the publishing piece of the writing workshop, if the Board would be amenable.
<br>
<br>
I'm reading the unfolding conversation on next year's CBW Wednesday gathering with great joy and so much gratitude. Kudos to all for creating visibility for these critical issues!<br>
<br>
Peace & best,<br>
<br>

You guys are AMAZING! We are going to have a great year. I've been listening to this conversation and I'm excited about the great ideas we have here, the ways this is pushing our work ahead, and the ways we are thinking of new ideas and new directions. I
also particularly appreciate Steve and Hannah's careful thoughts about what direction we should go in.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks to Shannon for getting our new EB folks on the list. I've added Wendy Olsen into the conversation since she and Steve may lead a roundtable for us. So, please do continue with "reply all" here so Wendy can see the conversation.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm going to attempt to distill this conversation to move us towards a consensus for the program so we can get invitations out to folks. I think (?) this is a combination of the ideas we've passed around, spinning off of the text that Steve and Cheryl shared
with us.<br>
<br>
<br>
I think we've agreed that we want to focus on Basic Writing and Race. Great!<br>
<br>
<br>
I think we should approach Victor Villanueva and Malea Powell for keynotes to start. Bill, can you contact Victor? Does anyone know Malea? If not, I will e-mail her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Steve and Wendy, I'd love to do a roundtable featuring both of you and your work on BW and whiteness. Do you want to add in Scott Lyons? People were very excited by this! If you are willing to do the roundtable, I think it would be a GREAT addition! Who
knows Scott personally?<br>
<br>
<br>
In addition to the keynotes, I think we should do the poster session again. We don't need to work this out now, it can be a placeholder in the program and we can send to the CBW-L list later, as we did last year. That worked well, but I want to give it a
little more time next year--I think it was a little rushed.<br>
<br>
<br>
I would also like to add in a roundtable on publishing and grant writing at the end of the day, since that's something we've seen interest in on the CBW Facebook page and other forums.<br>
<br>
If we do 2 keynotes, 2 roundtables, and an extended poster-session, we have a lovely program.<br>
<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
<br>
I have not included, here, Ian Marshall. I'm very open to inviting him, but I'm not sure where he would fit in in this formulation.<br>
<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
<br>
Starting Title:<br>
<br>
"BW and Race: A Symposium"--not very sexy--any thoughts for making this stronger?<br>
