Symposium sessions will take place each weekday over this period (except for Thursday, May 20). Each of the two daily sessions (and one on Monday 24th) will revolve around a specific research topic that the presenter(s) have introduced on their MS Teams Channel. Their Channel in MS Teams will contain a brief video introducing their research topic, and an extended description of their research project proposal. Thus, it is highly recommended to visit the presenter(s)' Channel before their synchronous discussion.

You will then receive additional instructions on how to engage with the materials presented online, and how to join the scheduled live discussions.

Here is a link to the abstracts of the sessions.

The SLW Standing Group will sponsor a workshop at CCCC 2020 (Mar 25-28 in Milwaukee, WI). They are inviting roundtable proposals that address specific strategies and practices to promote anti-racist, multilingual- or translingual-oriented pedagogies as commonplaces in our work as teachers, researchers, and administrators (see CFP here). Particularly, they would like to focus on how these perspectives can be promoted and sustained while challenging “best practices” established upon monolingual, monocultural educational legacies. Drawing on a number of great ideas generated during this year’s business meeting, they invite proposals that discuss enactments of such efforts not only in our classroom but in contexts such as professional development workshops, teacher/tutor training, campus-wide events, community engagement projects, and cross-campus collaboration. In your preparation, you are welcome to, but certainly not limited to, explore the following questions:

If you would like to be considered, please email your proposal to Eunjeong Lee (eunjeong.lee@qc.cuny.edu) by midnight, April 21. Your proposal should clearly state the focus, significance, and specific and concrete "takeaways" of your roundtable session. For proposal submission, please see the tentative timeline below:
