Hi all,
Throughout the academic year, board members from the Council of Writing Program Administrators are collaborating with the Task Force that produced our new Domains Statement to offer a series of workshops for the field. Each workshop unpacks one topic related to the new Domain Statement and a list of all upcoming workshops can be accessed here. The workshops are free for CWPA members and cost $25 / workshop for nonmembers. I’m writing to invite you to a workshop that explores Domain 4, Material Conditions and Technologies. Here are the details:
- Date: Friday, November 13
- Time: 2-3:15pm EDT
- Platform: Zoom (a link will be sent out to all registrants before the event)
- Description: Join this event to explore and begin to unpack Domain 4: Composing is always subject to the material conditions of the rhetorical context; such material conditions might include time and space, knowledge, previous writing experiences, and access to production and distribution technologies. Students should critically attend to and reflect on material and ethical considerations in choosing and using information and technologies, acknowledging that they are not always in control of, or able to access the material conditions of any given rhetorical context.
- Facilitators: Michelle Bachelor Robinson, Kelly Blewett, David Green, Bernice Olivas, Lydia Wilkes
You can register at this link. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Hope to see you there!
Best,
Kelly
