Hello, everyone.
I’m writing to announce our next OWCA Reading Club event. Please read on for more information!
The Online Writing Center Association (OWCA) September Reading Club
Date & Time: September 26th @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
The OWCA Reading Club occurs approximately every other month. Reading club provides a space to discuss writing center scholarship. Based on the articles or book chapters chosen, participants will share experiences, ideas, strategies, and questions about the texts and how they may relate to online writing centers (OWCs) and online writing tutoring.
This month, the OWCA Reading Club will read and discuss two recent articles on the experiences of diverse students and tutors in writing centers. Attendees will discuss both articles as well as how to promote awareness of writing center services, in particular to non-native English speakers and first-generation students. Links to both articles will be available for registered participants.
This is an open event and you do not need to be an OWCA member to participate. The OWCA Reading Club is currently held in a Zoom Pro room. To ensure a safe space for open communication and interaction, these sessions will not be recorded.
