Event: OWCA July Reading Club

Hello, everyone.

I’m writing to announce our next OWCA Reading Club event for 2023. Please read on for more information!

The Online Writing Center Association (OWCA) July Reading Club

Date & Time: July 19th @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST

The OWCA Reading Club occurs approximately every other month. Reading club provides a space to discuss writing center scholarship. Based on the article or book chapter chosen, participants will share experiences, ideas, strategies, and questions about the text and how it may be related to online writing centers (OWCs) and online writing tutoring.

July’s reading club discussion will focus on “Dismantling Neutrality: Cultivating Antiracist Writing Center Ecologies” by Eric C. Camarillo. A copy of the article will be available for registered participants.

This is an open event and you do not need to be an OWCA member to participate. The OWCA Reading Club is currently held in a Zoom Pro room. To ensure a safe space for open communication and interaction, these sessions will not be recorded.
