The Writing and Rhetoric Program (WRPR) and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research (CTLR) welcome Frankie Condon to speak about anti-racist pedagogies. This talk is about the significance of critical self-reflection to actionable anti-racist commitments in the design and development of anti-racist pedagogies across a variety of disciplines. Participants should expect both an exploration of critical race theory as it pertains to teaching and examples of what that theory might look like in action in the university classroom.

Have you considered applying to graduate school in the UK? Join Dean Lisa Gates for a discussion of how to apply for a British scholarship and what makes an ideal candidate.

What happens to our reading of literature if the role of the paratext (the ancillary materials surround texts), instead of the text, is foregrounded? Using Edward Said’s notion of the contrapuntal, I discuss how digital modes of analysis facilitate a concurrent process of close and distant readings of paratexts in Arabic-to-English translations. Digital analysis brings to the surface power dynamics—in terms of gender, colonialism, and other key topics—buried in paratexts such as glossaries. Lunch will be served. Suggested readings and please sign up at url for event.

In the past, many faculty have surveyed their students about how individual classes are unfolding. Such an assessment seems more significant than ever given all of the new modalities and experimentations in play this fall. Please join your colleagues for a discussion of how to assess your classes halfway through this semester and then how to respond to what you have learned. Jim Ralph of CTLR and Heather Stafford of DLINQ will co-moderate this session.
