AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is excited to announce the date for the AWAC Summer Reads book discussion!
AWAC Summer Reads is an extension of our AWAC Reads reading group, which aims to create a space for collegial conversation about WAC and writing scholarship. Both AWAC members and non-members are welcome to participate! (Not yet an AWAC member? Click here to learn more.)
What monograph are we reading?
For Summer 2024’s AWAC Summer Reads, we are reading Masking Inequality with Good Intentions: Systemic Bias, Counterspaces, and Discourse Acquisition in STEM Education by Heather Falconer.
This monograph is available as an open-source e-text through WAC Clearinghouse. You can access it here: https://wac.colostate.edu/books/practice/masking/
When is the discussion?
Our synchronous conversation on Zoom will take place on Friday, September 13, at 3:30pm ET (2:30pm CT, 1:30pm MT, 12:30pm PT). If you are interested in participating in the live talk about our book, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/xGBrgWnmX1gTJxiH9
Whether you have time to read the whole book deeply or simply give it a skim, please join us regardless! We welcome your contributions and conversation.
Links for the Zoom meeting will be distributed via email a few days in advance of the meeting date.
