AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is excited to announce this year’s AWAC Summer Reads!
This reading group focuses on a monograph or edited collection (instead of an article like our AWAC Reads program during the academic year).
Interested folks can read all or some of our selected book over the summer, then join other participants in September on Zoom (exact date/time TBA later in the summer) to discuss the book.
Both AWAC members and non-members are welcome to participate! (Not yet an AWAC member? Click here to learn more.
What text are we reading?
For Summer 2026’s AWAC Summer Reads, we are reading Adapting the Past to Reimagine Possible Futures: Celebrating and Critiquing WAC at 50, edited by Megan J. Kelly, Heather M. Falconer, Caleb L. González, and Jill Dahlman.
This collection is available as an open-source e-text through WAC Clearinghouse. You can access it here: https://wacclearinghouse.org/books/perspectives/iwac2020/
How do we sign up for the Zoom?
Keep an eye out for an email in August. This email will have the date and time of our synchronous conversation in September, as well as a link to a form that you can use to register.
Until then, feel free to start reading!
