Multilingual Writers' Studio: Revision Strategies

Through structured activities, peer dialogue, and reflective writing, participants will build strategies to negotiate academic expectations while sustaining their own voices and identities as writers.

This 5-week workshop series integrates practical revision tools with antiracist and decolonial perspectives on writing. Drawing on Felicia Rose Chavez’s The Antiracist Writing Workshop, the program treats academic writing as a cultural practice shaped by power, rhetorical traditions, and linguistic diversity.

Early sessions establish community agreements using a streamlined, instructor-guided process and introduce revision as meaning-making rather than error correction.

Middle sessions explore global rhetorical structures, argument placement, and cultural rhetorical expectations.

Final sessions address sentence-level clarity, local grammatical decisions, linguistic justice, and navigating standardized English with conscious choice.
