| Dear GOers and Scholars, We, (the members of the WPA-GO LC ), extend our warm greetings and kindly request your assistance in compiling resources related to the crucial theme of social justice within the realm of rhetoric and writing studies. In an era marked by globalization, we have witnessed our society becoming increasingly diverse, leading to a heightened focus on social justice issues in our field. In light of this kairos, we would like to amass a collection of materials that deal with social justice in rhetoric and composition/writing in higher education, to be shared with WPA-GO members for free. The sole purpose of collecting materials on the topic is to make a repository of resources and share them with graduate students freely. If you possess freely accessible copies of relevant materials or have produced works of your own, we cordially request you to share them with us. In cases where your materials are not freely available, we kindly request you to provide information such as the title, author’s name, link, DOI, or any pertinent details that can guide us to the sources. While we have outlined certain topics and genres below, please note that our hunt for materials is not restricted to these categories; we encourage you to submit materials that address social justice in any appropriate form. Topics: They include but are not limited to linguistic justice, diversity, inclusion, equity, accessibility, technology and AI, access, mentoring, microaggressions, queer and gender issues, critical race issues, etc. We are committed to making available the widest possible variety of viewpoints pertaining to the subject, ranging from the comfortably familiar and mainstream all the way to the most novel, unfamiliar, creative, and possibly even transgressive approaches to the question at hand. Genres: We are open to a diverse range of genres, encompassing TED Talks, YouTube videos, academic articles, newspaper features, blog posts, books, magazines, podcasts, and more. Your contributions in any of these formats are highly appreciated. Our goal is to amass these materials by February 30, 2024, and subsequently make them accessible to the WPA-GOers by March 15, 2024. Of course, we reserve the right to decide what to store in our repository and what to share with graduate students. We hold strong faith in your willingness to contribute to this initiative and to play a vital role in advancing the ongoing discourse on social justice in rhetoric and writing studies. We express in advance our heartfelt gratitude to you for your valuable contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at wpago1. Please upload your materials here |
