CCCCWI Speaker Series: Anti-Racism and Racial Justice in Writing Studies

edit

This month, Dr. Chistopher Castillo will present on "Burning our Fingers: An Intersectional Grapple with the Steel Cage of Racism." This talk uses the story of a racist encounter and its aftermath to draw attention to the racialized emotions that circulate in professional academic spaces (including writing programs, graduate programs, and departments) and that must be addressed as part of anti-racist efforts. Highlighting both the harm done by what the speaker refers to as “racist fuck ups” and the habits of dialogue and self-reflection that make accountability possible in harm's aftermath, the speaker suggests that consistent attention to the emotional valence of racism and anti-racist work will better equip writing studies to confront its investments in institutional white supremacy.

After the talk, participants will be trained on how to edit Wikipedia. There will be opportunities to improve and create Wikipedia articles related to pivotal scholars and scholarship on anti-racism and racial justice in writing studies.

Date: April 27, 2023

Time: 4:00PM-5:30PM (ET)
