<DIV>Sorry about not being as involved in the revision process. The proposal looks great. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do think though that the poster session should emphasize race in its title since the title of the overall workshop is "Basic Writing and Race." Perhaps a title along the lines of "Race, Locality, and the Public Work of Basic Writing" would work. To emphasize race more, we might want to change a few of the details about what types of posters the session would include, but I think the title is more essential. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of course, like my students, I'm coming in at the last moment. The concern with the title of the poster session is but a minor concern. I am impressed with the amount of work that has gone into this proposal both from the board as a whole and from Liz herself. Thanks all.</DIV>

I've massaged it a little and added in a quotation from a recent article as grounding (perhaps better than just listing names without articles and dates?). See what you think. I lost track of who edited what, but I wanted to point out that I did revise a revision to take out the discussion of class and gender. While I know that we all agree that race is inextricably intertwined with other factors, I wanted to honor the specific discussion the editorial board had about focusing on race (see board minutes and Hannah's earlier commentary on this proposal).<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Susan did a nice rewrite, which I disagreed with, about the publishing workshop. I think focusing the publishing workshop on race alone (publishing about race and basic writing) is too limiting when people may have many ideas. However, to Hannah's point about weaving race into the overall proposal, I wonder about revising the open poster session and asking for presentations on basic writing and race. Our roundtable is going to do a lovely job with this as well, but what if the poster presentations focused on many different aspects of basic writing and race? If you like this idea, I'll revise that language.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> See what you think about how the proposal is coming along. As before, I'm very happy for your edits and ideas.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <A href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uj1ZZEB5CrWyiaw-GyeEcfFx4GPZDVujL_uY0O4VMwY/edit">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uj1ZZEB5CrWyiaw-GyeEcfFx4GPZDVujL_uY0O4VMwY/edit</A><BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I have also put in Victor's title and proposal. He is not addressing race specifically, but something that definitely speaks to our group: how you support and sustain basic writing programs. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Also, does anyone other than Bill know Victor personally? If so, I'll defer to you to introduce him. If not, Sugie or I can introduce him in our capacities as co-chairs.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I'd like to start submitting the proposal around 3 tomorrow, well ahead of the deadline.
