If there's easy access to the Internet, I may check in mid-week, but I'm not going to promise if for now, since I'm not sure what I'm walking into. I'm back on 5/1, which will give us another week to nail down the details. <br><br><br>Thanks in advance to everyone for all of your fabulous ideas and comments.<br><br><br>Here's where we are right now:<br><br><br>Basic Writing and Race: A Symposium<br><br><br> Morning:<br><br><br>1. Keynote--hopefully Victor Villanueva (Bill, let us know how that comes along)<br>2. Poster session featuring new scholars (call to come out later).<br>3. Networking<br><br><br>Afternoon:<br><br><br>4. Roundtable on Basic Writing and Whiteness)<br><br><br>5. Publishing/Grant writing workshop.<br><br><br>6. Reception again (if they're game?)<br><br><br>I was originally going to invite editors to do the publishing workshop, but I love Lynn's idea of making it a workshop. We could have groups according to where people are at with publishing, ranging from ideas to manuscript critiques.<br><br><br>What do you think?<br><br><br>Liz<br><br><br>J.

I'm looking forward to<br>working with each of you.<br><br>As for CBW 2013, I also support Liz's idea of the publishing and grant<br>writing workshop. The Computers and Writing Conference offers a similar<br>session as part of the Graduate Research Network, and it's by far the most<br>valuable part of my conference experience there every year. I wonder if we<br>could model their approach and ask folks to bring ideas or research in<br>progress for a mentoring session on publishing.<br><br>Everything else sounds fantastic for next year!<br>Best,<br>Lynn<br>On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 8:31 AM, Susan Naomi Bernstein <<br>susan.naomi@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br>> Liz and colleagues,<br>><br>> I write in support of Liz's idea of the publishing and grant writing<br>> workshop. The 4th edition of _Teaching Developmental Writing_ will be<br>> available for Cs 2012 and I can ask Bedford if they would be willing to<br>> provide copies for all attendees. In addition, I would be happy to assist<br>> in facilitating the publishing piece of the writing workshop, if the Board<br>> would be amenable.<br>><br>> I'm reading the unfolding conversation on next year's CBW Wednesday<br>> gathering with great joy and so much gratitude.
