Dear Colleagues-
The Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric and Composition ad hoc Scholarly Support Committee invites you to join us for two upcoming listening sessions. The purpose of these synchronous online sessions is to gather qualitative data which will help us imagine how the Coalition can support feminist scholars in our current political climate. Our listening events will be held on Zoom and are scheduled for:
- Thursday, November 6, 10:00 AM (EST)
- Friday, November 7, 3:00 PM (EST)
During these listening sessions we want to focus our attention on the following questions:
- How can we build relationships to support one another’s work in a hostile political climate?
- What sort of support do feminist scholars need beyond their local university/college?
- Who would Coalition members like to hear from about our current political climate (legal experts, upper administrators, etc.)?
- What are other professional organizations doing to respond to this moment?
Your insights are vital for ensuring that we provide meaningful, actionable support for feminist scholars. If you are interested in attending either or both of these listening sessions, please register by November 2 via Zoom.

In solidarity,
Jen Almjeld
