2003 Identity Politics/Common Ground/Iraq
We are a coalition of CCCC Special Interest Groups and Caucuses who feel that language, writing, and literacy are inseparable from issues of public policy and social justice. This year, one of the goals of our session is to highlight two important initiatives within CCCC focused on tribal colleges and higher education labor practices. We hope to use this session to generate support for these resolutions at Saturday’s Business Meeting.
We also believe that the Iraqi crisis is an important concern in our field. In response, we have revised our original session plans to include the opportunity to discuss the role of writing teachers and rhetoricians at this current moment, both in CCCC’s and in our national debate. We will also announce several initiatives to foster this debate throughout the conference.
It is our belief that only by simultaneously working on our specific concerns as writing teachers and on producing an informed public debate, we believe we will fulfill our goals as a progressive coalition.
