The Online Writing Centers Association invites you to join us for a webinar titled "Navigating Conversations in the Current Socio-Political Climate in Writing Centers” a panel discussion with Dr. Eric Camarillo, Dr. Frankie Condon, Dr. Talisha Morrison, and Dr. Jasmine Kar Tang.
Date & Time: Friday Nov. 7th at 3 p.m. EST/ 2 p.m. CST/ 1 p.m. MST/ 12 p.m. PST.
In today’s polarized socio-political climate, writing centers continue to serve as vital spaces for dialogue, learning, and student support. At the same time, writing center professionals face growing challenges as they respond to shifting institutional landscapes and external pressures while remaining committed to their core values.
This panel brings together four distinguished scholars whose critical and courageous voices have shaped the field: Dr. Eric Camarillo, Dr. Frankie Condon, Dr. Jasmine Tang, and Dr. Talisha Morrison. Their research and practice highlight how writing centers can serve as brave spaces and contact zones, fostering authentic conversations about language and the evolving role of writing centers in higher education.
The conversation will be guided by moderators Dr. Ashley Newby and Dr. Nicole Caswell, whose expertise in writing center scholarship and leadership will provide a strong foundation for drawing out the panelists’ insights.
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. This is a live event and will not be recorded.
