Candidate for South Carolina At-Large Representative (vote for one)

 

Jessica Ulmer is an instructor of English at Midlands Technical College in Columbia, SC and a doctoral student in Technical Communication and Rhetoric at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. Though she began teaching at the middle and high school level back in 2006, as she was completing her second master’s degree, Jessi began teaching at the two-year college level in Massachusetts and Rhode Island while searching for full time work. She soon joined the Two-Year College Association of NCTE and realized her love for all things two-year college. As such, Jessica has been working on an article for Teaching English in the Two Year College called “Writing about Writing at the Two-Year College,” stemming from her master’s thesis on the same topic. She has presented about this at the annual conferences for the Two-Year College Association – NorthEast chapter, the Two-Year College Association – SouthEast chapter, the Two-Year College Association – West chapter and the Council of Writing Program Administrators. An avid proponent for quality composition instruction across the Carolinas, Jessi presented at Wildacres in September 2017 about “Building Bridges” across both states in terms of English department collegiality and composition pedagogy. Since returning to Columbia, she has begun researching WPAs and department chairs at all of the colleges across South Carolina, in the hopes of bolstering SC attendance at CarWPA events as well.

Call for Nominations: Executive Board At-Large Representatives from NC and SC

Nominations open until October 31.

 

The Executive Board invites nominations for two positions: At-Large South Carolina Representative and At-Large North Carolina Representative.

 

The Carolinas WPA serves as an affiliate of the Council of Writing Program Administrators. All Executive Board members should be members of both the Council of Writing Program Administrators and the Carolinas WPA (or be willing to obtain such membership upon election to the board). The board welcomes people of any professional rank who are involved in higher education writing pedagogy.

 

Nomination Process

Review the open positions below. You may nominate yourself or someone else with their permission. Those nominated will be asked to submit a brief biographical statement before being included on the ballot. Those elected are expected to attend our “Meeting in the Middle” (the meeting we have each February at UNC Charlotte).

 

This nomination form requires the nominee’s name, status at their institution (assistant professor, doctoral student, etc.), their institutional affiliation, the position for which you are nominating them, and a brief recommendation.

 

Once the deadline for nominations has expired (October 31), the board will develop a ballot to be sent via the CarolinasWPA listserv where all who are subscribed to the CarolinasWPA list will have an opportunity to vote on the candidates nominated for each position. Once the voting has ended and the votes have been verified, the Executive Board will announce the new board members and their respective positions.

 

Online voting ballots will be available approximately November 15 with voting ending on December 12.

 

Open Positions

1) At-Large Position: South Carolina Representative

2) At-Large Position: North Carolina Representative

 

These representatives will each serve a term of two years in this role: January 1, 2018–January 1, 2020.

 

At-Large positions on the board serve multiple purposes. One is to ensure representation from both states (NC/SC). Another is to conduct out-reach within the representative state to recruit other members from NC/SC including community college faculty. At-Large positions help to organize both the Meeting in the Middle and the Annual Fall Retreat. At-Large positions are responsible for managing or otherwise putting together panels for conferences like SAMLA, TYCA, NCETA and/or NCEI. They may contribute in other ways as initiatives arise.

 

Thank you,

14th Annual Fall Carolinas Writing Program Administrators Conference

Communities and Contact Zones: Doing Justice

September 18-20, 2017 | Wildacres Retreat, Little Switzerland, NC (Directions) | $200 (includes 2 nights lodging and 5 meals)

  • Proposal deadline: Friday, August 25, 2017
  • Registration deadline: Monday, September 11, 2017

Carolinas Writing Program Administrators is accepting proposals on the theme of “Communities and Contact Zones: Doing Justice” for its Fourteenth Annual Fall Conference.

Twenty-six years after Mary Louise Pratt published “The Arts of the Contact Zone,” our profession continues to grapple with ways to call out colonialism in our classrooms and universities.  We seek ways to invite heterogeneity of expression and perspectives, and we strive to work with conflict and discomfort in ever-contested learning spaces. Our conference site itself is a contact zone in which the white supremacist history of the property contrasts with its present mission to serve as an inclusive, anti-discriminatory site for dialog across differences. The dialectic between community and difference that Pratt calls attention to comes into play in nearly every aspect of our work in the Carolinas as we attempt to do justice to our best ideas, do justice with our students and colleagues, and do justice in often conflicted institutional contexts.

What are you working on in your classrooms, your programs, or your research?  What challenges are you experiencing in your communities, in your justice work?  What successes have you had in working with or across differences? How do we do justice to the ideas, like Pratt’s, that invigorate our work?  As teachers, as program leaders, as community members, as researchers, how do we do justice with each other? How might the community of Carolinas WPA further your work toward those ends?

 

Keynote and Workshops: “Contemplating Race: Mindfulness as Antiracist Pedagogy.” Emma Howes and Christian Smith from Coastal Carolina University will facilitate workshops on using contemplative practices in the classroom to enact antiracist pedagogy. They will discuss some of the theoretical background for this work, providing exercises that cultivate mindfulness to build critical literacy skills in spaces where differing discourses meet. They will also address the ways we, as instructors and administrators, may benefit from our own development of contemplative work. In this way, participants will be asked to consider the value in creating slow reading and writing practices to facilitate agents to more carefully consider their initial encounters with text. This encourages deep engagement with literacy practices for navigating multiple, often clashing, discourses, and helps build empathy through the work of deep, rhetorical listening. Contemplative practices may thus allow students of writing to move from affectively-driven reactions to reflective responses.

 

Conference Schedule and Format. The conference begins at 5:00 pm on Monday, September 18, and concludes at 10:00 am on Wednesday, September 20. A keynote talk on Monday evening will be followed by a full day Tuesday of workshops, small breakout interest groups, and activities on the beautiful mountaintop of Wildacres Retreat, with a closing session Wednesday morning. All meals are provided.

The conference format encourages engagement of participants from a broad variety of institutions and programs.

Those presenting should prepare for 15-20 minutes to discuss their work and seek feedback from those with shared interests. Those leading retreat activities or mini-workshops should prepare for 45-60 minutes focused on lively participant involvement.

Wildacres Retreat is a low-tech setting conducive to relaxing, collaborating, and learning with friends and colleagues across the Carolinas.

 

Proposals. You are entirely welcome to attend this conference without presenting, but those whose proposals are accepted will be listed on the formal agenda, which may help with obtaining travel funding. Proposals also help us plan appropriate interest groups and design activities around members’ goals.

We welcome creative interpretation of the theme. This forum is especially appropriate for work that would benefit from feedback and focused workshop time. Carolinas WPA welcomes individual and team presentations at any stage of development and from people working in any teaching or administrative positions related to writing in the Carolinas.

You may submit a proposal for one of two types of activity:

  • Individual or team presentation to be placed into 1-hr discussion groups with other presenters. Plan for approximately 20 minutes per person including discussion time.
  • Retreat activity: Solo or co-lead anything from yoga or an Appalachian plant identification walk to a mini-workshop related to the conference theme. Plan to have 45- to 60-minutes. We welcome creative use of Wildacres’ indoor and outdoor common spaces.

Be prepared to work without AV equipment. (Internet is very limited and we may not have access to projectors.) Each proposal should be 250 – 500 words including:

  • Names and contact information (email, phone, home institution) for each person associated with your proposal
  • Type of activity (individual or team presentation 15-20 minutes per person; retreat activity or mini-workshop of 45-60 minutes)
  • A title and brief description of what you will share
  • Your specific goals for presenting
  • Questions for attendees that will help you elicit feedback relevant to your goals.

Submit your proposal via email to Collie Fulford (collie.fulford@gmail.com) and Paula Patch (ppatch@elon.edu) by 11:59PM Monday August 25, 2017, using the subject line “CarWPA Proposal yourlastname.”

 

Registration and Cost. The registration fee of $200 includes 2 nights’ lodging and 5 meals at Wildacres, as well as all conference materials. Conferencegoers must register by Monday, September 11, 2017. No refunds after Friday, September 8. The registration link will be opening soon on our conference page.

This coming semester, I will take on the new role of English Department Liaison to the Writing Center, helping to coordinate a support course for first-year writing students, train tutors, and enhance collaboration between the English Department and the Writing Center.

 

I am passionate about providing my first-year writing students with meaningful service-learning and community engagement projects, giving them opportunities not only to research, but also experience the topics they’ll explore in writing. As Associate Director of First-Year writing, I strive to create time and space for collaboration and discussion among writing instructors, scheduling meetings and workshops for our community of teachers, observing newly hired faculty, and carving out time for social interaction. In the two years that I have been active in the Carolinas Writing Program Administrators organization, what I have most appreciated is the commitment to fostering such collaboration and discussion between colleagues across the region. I would love the opportunity to help continue this mission and to further awareness of the needs of smaller writing programs.

CarolinasWPA Meeting in the Middle CFP

Friday, February 17, 2017

10:00 AM – 4:30 PM

UNC Charlotte Center City Building
320 E. 9th Street, Charlotte, NC 28202

Theme: Advocacy in Classrooms, Programs, Research, and Beyond

*Proposal deadline: Friday, February 3, 2017

 

Carolinas Writing Program Administrators is accepting proposals for its Eleventh Annual Spring Conference, Meeting in the Middle.

 

Teaching and program administration is always work in progress. We constantly alter our own classroom practices, reshape our programs, and revise our research. In so doing, we must advocate for ourselves and for others, and our social justice mission is rarely far from our minds. Much of the advocacy we do stays within our institutional contexts such as when we try different teaching approaches, or argue for program resources or equitable labor practices. Past Carolinas WPA speakers John Warner (Wildacres 2015) and Doug Hesse (Wildacres 2013) encourage us also to go public in our advocacy efforts. Our national body, the Council of Writing Program Administrators, urges us to see advocacy as particularly necessary to focus on right now, as evident in their recent call for conference proposals on the theme of agency and advocacy in an age of austerity. This dovetails well with the focus Michelle LaFrance brought to us at Wildacres 2016.

 

At this year’s Meeting in the Middle, we check in with each other on those efforts. We lift up the work each of us is doing that explores classrooms and writing programs as sites of advocacy. And we offer concrete activities to move that work forward.

 

So what are you working on now? And how can MinM help you meet your goals for advancing your own advocacy-centered projects?

 

Please respond with a brief Work-in-Progress Presentation (WiPP) proposal. You are entirely welcome to attend MinM without presenting, but those who declare what they are working on in advance will be listed on the formal agenda, which may help with self-advocating for travel funding.

 

Your proposals also help us plan appropriate interest groups and design workshop activities around your goals.

 

Possible topic starters:

  • Self-advocacy: What acts of self-determination are you taking in your professional life?
  • Advocacy in teaching: What teaching practices are you developing as acts of advocacy?  Or how are you positioning students to become advocates?
  • Program advocacy: What and how are you advocating for your program(s)? For faculty in your programs?  For students in your programs?
  • Advocacy in research:  How is your research an advocacy practice? For what, for whom?
  • Advocating in the public sphere: What are you writing for audiences beyond our disciplinary colleagues? What are you advocating?
  • Needed advocacy: What do you wish your department or CarWPA or our national organizations would do differently – or more emphatically –  to act as advocates for _____? If you were writing a call to action on this issue, what would it include?

 

Possible goals for work-in-progress presenters:

  • Seek and share self-advocacy methods
  • Refine a teaching project
  • Strengthen a plan for program advocacy
  • Improve an IRB proposal
  • Get feedback on an article draft – whether for a scholarly or public audience
  • Rehearse for 4Cs
  • Develop a CWPA proposal. (Maybe even find other panelists.) The proposal deadline is March 1.

 

We welcome creative interpretation of the advocacy theme and goals. This forum is appropriate for work that would benefit from feedback and focused workshop time. CarolinasWPA welcomes individual and team WiPPs at any stage of development and from people working in any teaching or administrative positions related to writing in the Carolinas.

Conference Format

A featured panel on advocacy led by members of CarolinasWPA will be followed by small breakout interest groups and writing activities. Those presenting should prepare for 15-20 minutes to discuss their work-in-progress and seek feedback from those with shared interests.

Proposals

Each proposal should be 250 – 500 words including the following:

  • Names and contact information (email, phone, home institution) for each person associated with your proposal
  • A presentation title
  • A description of the pertinent topic
  • Your specific goals for presenting work-in-progress at MinM
  • Questions for interest group attendees that will help you elicit feedback relevant to your goals.

Submit it via email to Collie Fulford (cfulfor1@nccu.edu) and Tracy Ann Morse (morset@ecu.edu) by noon Friday, February 3, 2017, using the subject line “MinM Proposal yourlastname.”
