Good morning, all:
There was an issue with the previous link I provided for the Qualtrics survey.
The below posting has the updated link:
Re: Talking STEAM: Addressing Gaps in Composition Accessibility Practices for
Black Students Within the WAC Classroom
Dear Faculty and Administrators,
I am reaching out once again to recruit participants for my research survey
for my dissertation "Talking STEAM: Addressing Gaps in Composition
Accessibility Practices for Black Students Within the WAC Classroom". While
the survey is anonymous, there is opportunity for participants to enter a
raffle for completing the survey – $100, $75, or $50. The survey accepts
graduate student instructors, non-tenure and tenure faculty, as well as WAC
administrators who have taught WAC courses in their current institution within
the last five years. This survey closes at on November 15!
If you are interested in participating (or know anyone who would like to
participate), please see/share the information provided below:
My name is Courtney Crisp, and I am a doctoral candidate in the Rhetoric and
Composition program at Ball State University. I am writing to let you know
about an opportunity to participate in a study, Talking STEAM: Addressing Gaps
in Composition Accessibility Practices for Black Students Within the WAC
Classroom (IRB-FY2026-484). I am conducting a research study examining
accessibility measures within WAC programming that impact Black student
success in STEM discourse and communication learning, and you are invited to
participate in the study. If you agree, you will participate in a 25-minute
survey that asks questions regarding professional development opportunities
and personal perceptions regarding the use of anti-racism, critical race
theory, and linguistic justice within your institution, department, and
program. There will also be an opportunity to enter a research subject
incentive raffle for gift cards totaling $100, $75, and $50.
