#revisionandreform Next up: Closing remarks and discussion. More insights from @sureshcanax and symposium organizers! 2:00-3:00 pm
#revisionandreform @natespoetics and Carlos Burgos are presenting on poetry as an occasion for students to initiate critical inquiry into "real life" issues that are meaningful to them
Play is iterative: @rrussellsloan Iteration is where play becomes practice. You have the capaciousness, the boundlessness that enable students' quest for meaning #revisionandreform
And the last panel is on play! May we all remember that any kind of knowledge production is an act of play! Thank you all for playing with us.... @NYU2020ReVision
#revisionandreform @rrussellsloan Playful engagement w/digital tools - a framework of rigorous play - as a way to empower multilingual students to break the many borders that limit and oppress them
#revisionandreform Mara Jebsen, EWP NYU: Having students read as writers helps them become better writers themselves
#revisionandreform The Social Justice roundtable discussion almost inevitably turned to questions of language & identity: translanguaging, code-meshing, what it means to be monolingual@multilingual. Also difficult questions of being a white prof teaching writing
Great connections to Day 1 panels on silence/silencing, translingual pedagogies, and postcolonial pedagogies! #revisionandreform
@ProfBrowPow When translingualism is a norm, then writing centers can play an empowering role for multilingual students. Challenge: writing centers are liminal spaces with not enough power in academia #revisionandreform
#revisionandreform Sophie Bell on Writing Across Differences with a shout out to @sureshcanax 's key note that examined negotiation of meaning between students and their writing teachers.
#revisionandreform Amy White, CUNY is sharing writing assignment prompts for pre-med students that make them question the border between personal and professional.
#revisionandreform Join us now for a roundtable on Social Justice!
#revisionandreform An exciting discussion about framing in the writing classroom! Qs from audience: What is the role of students in framing writing&their education? How is framing interactional, situational, negotiated? How do students frame/situate their selves in writing?
#revisionandreform Olga Breydo positions writing as a way to face and untangle complex and often traumatic experiences; a way to reach, understand, and preserve my identity #immigrantvoices
Olga Breydo: Many students consider the writing assignment as the event for which writing is done, and after which writing stops. How do we shift this understanding and empower students to gain a genuine motivation for writing?
