Are there different professional expectations of early-career, mid-career, and late career scholars in rhetoric writing studies? Do these different generations have different expectations of one another? Do you wonder when a junior scholar becomes a senior scholar? Is it true that “you’ll just know” when it’s time to retire?
We invite you to join us in two upcoming virtual conversations about telling our “Stories for Imagining Intergenerational Abundance in Rhetoric and Writing Studies” hosted by the CCCC Standing Group for Senior, Late-Career, and Retired Scholars in Rhetoric and Writing Studies (SGSLR)
Wednesday, February 7 at 11:00 am Pacific / 2:00 pm Eastern
Wednesday, March 13 at 11:00 am Pacific / 2:00 pm Eastern
These conversations are designed to get an early start on the discussions we hope to generate at the SGSLR-sponsored roundtable at CCCC in Spokane on Friday, April 5, from 8:00 to 9:15 a.m. Our CCCC roundtable will begin by exploring this claim: An academic economic model of scarcity prompts calls for senior, late-career, and retired (SLCR) scholars to “get out of the way” of early- and mid-career scholars so they can effect change. But a model of abundance requires faculty at all career stages to rearticulate SLCR scholars’ participatory roles for our collective future.
Please join us for one or both virtual conversations even if you are not planning to attend CCCC in Spokane! Email shirley.rose to receive a zoom link for either or both of our virtual discussions.
