Hello, everyone!
I’m writing to announce OWCA’s next webinar event.
The Online Writing Centers Association invites you to join us for a webinar titled “Asynchronous Feedback: Access and Possibility” presented by Miriam Akervall and Emma Catherine Perry
Date & Time: Wednesday, October 9th, 2024 at 1:00PM – 2:00PM ET
This webinar explores asynchronous feedback as a mode for reaching writers who might otherwise be excluded from a writing center community. Drawing on experiences developing an online writing center that serves incarcerated writers through asynchronous feedback, two writing center leaders will consider how asynchronous capabilities create affordances for writing support to bridge access and ability. The webinar will include a group discussion about techniques for building inclusive writing communities across distance and logistical barriers, and the liberatory possibilities of asynchronous writing support for historically or institutionally underserved writers.
This is an open event and you do not need to be an OWCA member to participate. OWCA Webinars are currently held in a Zoom Pro room. The webinar will be recorded and later posted with a transcript and captions on the OWCA website.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at events.
