<BR>
Hi Folks,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thank you all for checking in. I know it's the end of the semester, but<BR>
I need a few things from you, so please quickly read on!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
1. Based on your feedback, we will cancel the poster session for this<BR>
year. I will send around a proposed draft schedule with schedule<BR>
changes, allotting the time for directed small group work following up<BR>
on Victor's talk and also "what's new" in basic writing.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
2. I mistakenly thought one group was taking care of the TRAVEL award.<BR>
They are not! We need to get out the applications ASAP. Do we have 2-3<BR>
volunteers who are willing to read a month from now, January 10 ish?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
3. I am sending a link to this doodle. We need to find a time for an<BR>
eboard meeting. I'm hoping that you can fill this out so we can plan<BR>
accordingly!<BR>
<BR>

Hi Folks,<BR>
<BR>
Hope this finds you well. I'm posting a question about CBW 2013 for your<BR>
consideration. As you know, race is our theme. We solicited poster<BR>
presentation proposals, as we did last year, to carve out a space for<BR>
new and emerging scholars. Unfortunately, the proposals we received did<BR>
not adequately (or in some cases at all) address race and basic writing.<BR>
<BR>
So, the question the sub-committee is considering is:<BR>
<BR>
Do we send a revised CFP around, calling more specific attention to the<BR>
need to theorize race?<BR>
<BR>
--OR--<BR>
<BR>
Do we cancel the poster session and instead use the time for networking<BR>
or something else? <BR>
<BR>
Looking forward to your thoughts.<BR>
<BR>
A draft version of the program follows below.<BR>
<BR>
Liz<BR>
<BR>
Here's the current draft version of the agenda.<BR>
<BR>
Basic Writing and Race: A Symposium<BR>
Council on Basic Writing CCCC Preconference Workshop 2013In her 2007<BR>
Journal of Basic Writing article "Representing Race in Basic Writing<BR>
Scholarship," Carole Center reminds us that "Race, like all systemic<BR>
differences that affect power relations, affects classroom...<BR>
The Council on Basic Writing (CBW) is excited to engage with CCCC's<BR>
renewed focus on basic writing and the question of public works of<BR>
composition. Because students of color represent the majority of<BR>
students enrolled in basic writing (Orfield), the CBW seeks to highlight<BR>
questions about basic writing and race in relation to persistent social<BR>
inequalities to more effectively reach out to our students and allow<BR>
participants to focus on issues of structural and institutional racism<BR>
(Condon). We will focus on key questions from the field such as who do<BR>
we mean by *basic writers*? Who has this historically included, who does<BR>
this include now, and how are the margins for basic writing as a site<BR>
for racial justice and inclusive educational missions narrowing? How<BR>
must we, as faculty committed to basic writing, continue to ensure that<BR>
our classrooms are not doing the work of *public gatekeeping* but the<BR>
public work of equity: that they are sites of diverse and racially<BR>
inclusive teaching? <BR>
Featuring keynote and roundtable presentations by Victor Villanueva,<BR>
Scott Lyons, Beatrice Mendez-Newman, Zandra Jordan, Min-Zhan Lu, Steve<BR>
Lamos and Wendy Olsen, the workshop will also be guided by discussions<BR>
of the grounding theories of scholars such as Gilyard, Horner and Lu;<BR>
Mutnick, Kynard and Eddy; Cardenas, and Wolff Murphy; and Marshall and<BR>
Ryden. In addition to the annual gathering of basic writing faculty for<BR>
networking, this preconference workshop will offer significant<BR>
exploration to the role of race in basic writing education in the United<BR>
States and the critical relationship between basic writing and the<BR>
public work of composition.<BR>
Agenda:<BR>
1. 9-9:15 Welcome/Opening Remarks (J. Elizabeth Clark)<BR>
2. 9:15-10:00 *Toward a Political Economy of Basic Writing Programs* by<BR>
Victor Villanueva, Keynote Address (William Lalicker, introduction and<BR>
moderator)<BR>
One way to define *political economy* is to consider the relations<BR>
between economics and systems of power, like decision-making bodies.<BR>
Basic Writing programs have always been subject to rhetorical,<BR>
legislative, and economic conditions in the ways that traditional<BR>
first-year programs have not. Villanueva will discuss the rises and<BR>
falls of basic writing programs from the perspective of political<BR>
economics as it obtains in rhetoric, including his own experiences in<BR>
keeping basic writing programs alive.<BR>
3. 10:00-12:00 Race, Locality, and the Public Work of Basic Writing<BR>
(Sugie Goen-Salter, moderator)<BR>
This featured presentation slot will bring together basic writing<BR>
educators from around the United States focused on the public work of<BR>
basic writing, with particular focus (broadly defined) on issues related<BR>
to race, racial injustice and critical race studies. Following a<BR>
practice begun in 2012, the participants will be selected by an open<BR>
call/poster session where local models for success are featured,<BR>
including but not limited to: preparing and supporting students of<BR>
color; preparing and supporting faculty of color; innovative programs;<BR>
responding to local challenges; basic writing and race; basic writing<BR>
and social inequality; basic writing and racial justice; meeting<BR>
challenges and attacks on basic writing programs; and making the work of<BR>
basic writing part of the public fabric of our communities.<BR>
Lunch Break<BR>
1:00-2:00 Roundtable on Race, Language, and Access: Possible Futures of<BR>
Basic Writing (Steve Lamos & Wendy Olson, moderators)<BR>
<BR>
An interactive roundtable addresses the following themes: BW and<BR>
whiteness; the role of BW in Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs);<BR>
race-conscious BW pedagogies; BW and *Generation 1.5* students; and<BR>
other related issues. Speakers will offer brief responses to one theme,<BR>
then move to facilitate a small group discussion. In closing, small<BR>
groups will report back to the larger group with observations and/or<BR>
suggestions for future directions. <BR>
Featuring: Scott Lyons, Beatrice Mendez-Newman, Zandra Jordan, Min-Zhan<BR>
Lu<BR>
2:00-4:00: Publishing/Grant Writing Workshop (Hannah Ashley and Susan<BR>
Naomi Bernstein, moderators)<BR>
In this session, workshop participants are invited to bring ideas for<BR>
articles, abstracts, and grants. Break out groups with published<BR>
mentors will work to assist participants with publishing and grant<BR>
questions and concerns.<BR>
4:00-5:00 Public Work and Local Contexts (Greg Glau and Lynn Reid,<BR>
moderators)<BR>
This last segment of the day will focus on small group networking,<BR>
helping basic writing educators to make connections across local<BR>
contexts. We will connect people with similar interests to continue to<BR>
build structures to support basic writing instructors outside of the<BR>
annual CBW Workshop at CCCC.<BR>

Hi Friends,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hope this finds you well. Happy fall! I can hardly believe that the<BR>
leaves are already starting to fall. I wanted to touch base on 3<BR>
things:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
1. First, my thanks to Michael Hill who stepped in to informally<BR>
moderate what was a strange (but not nasty yet...) discussion on the<BR>
CBW-L over grammar. I appreciate you stepping in & I thank everyone for<BR>
thinking about when we might need to help moderate discussions.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
2. We need to send out the call for folks who want to present at the<BR>
poster session at CBW. I think this went well last year. Do you have<BR>
any critiques/suggestions before I send out the call about how to<BR>
strengthen that part of the CBW day? Things I should keep in mind? <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
And, WHO WOULD LIKE TO READ SUBMISSIONS? We'll need a few readers to<BR>
read & rank submissions.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
3. If you haven't already, might those of you who are chairing<BR>
sub-committees nudge them to begin their work?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hope all's well.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
