Critical Language Awareness (CLA) for WPAs

A Virtual Workshop Facilitated by Sarah Madsen Hardy and Christina Michaud

Zoom

Critical language awareness (CLA) is a framework for addressing language, power, and difference. As a field, we’ve had many conversations about concrete interventions to bring this focus into writing classrooms through particular assignments, feedback practices, etc. This workshop will explore how we can bring CLA to our work as WPAs as well: What does it mean to center language diversity at the level of an entire writing program, one that includes both general composition courses and also courses for multilingual writers? How can we use CLA as a framework for challenging binaries and advancing DEIJ goals across an entire program? Participants will be invited to consider these questions in the context of their own programs and institutions.
