Materiality and Writing Studies: Aligning Labor, Scholarship, and Teaching to Reach All Writers

A Virtual Workshop

Zoom

This workshop will present research from two of the co-facilitators' recent projects, Materiality and Writing Studies: Aligning Labor, Teaching, and Scholarship (NCTE, 2022) and Reaching All Writers: A Pedagogical Guide to the Evolving College Writing Classroom (USUP 2024). The session will build from research on knowledge production, teaching and learning conditions, and threshold concepts to help participants set goals for their own program around inclusive writing classes and programs.

Participants will be asked to reflect on their current teaching and program conditions in the context of national data and disciplinary issues. They will then use guided questions to conduct a program needs assessment and discuss how to translate their findings into action steps for their program and classroom context.

Facilitators: Cassandra Phillips (UW-Milwaukee) and Holly Hassel (Michigan Tech University)
