Our fulltime and student staff will be busy in the next few months sharing about programs and initiatives we've been undertaking recently with students and faculty.
Come see us present these sessions at the University of Waterloo Teaching and Learning Conference on April 27 and 28:
- Partnerships between Academic Support Units and Faculty: Fostering Communication Skills for First Year Faculty of Health Students
- Benefits of Embedded Writing & Communication Centre Programs in Undergraduate Communication Courses
- Partnering with Students: Fostering Student Agency through Antiracist Writing Pedagogy
- Partnerships for Program Development: Students, Faculty, and Staff (with James Skidmore from Public German Studies and Veronica Curran from German Studies Canada)
And we're looking forward to presenting on these topics at the Canadian Writing Centres Association/Association Canadienne des Centres de Rédaction conference in May:
- Antiracism Advocacy Session
- How and Why Writing Centre Tutors Can Set Healthy Boundaries during the Pandemic and Beyond
- English Conversation Circles as a Mediator between the Demands of Course Instructors and Students as Writers
In addition, our director Clare Bermingham led a session with Robin Stadelbauer from the Office of Indigenous Relations at the recent UWaterloo Staff Conference on "Learning to Write a Land or Territorial Acknowledgement." And in June our newest staff member Maša Torbica, formerly a peer tutor with us, will present at RhetCanada on “'Round Dance Revolution': The Rhetorical Impacts of Idle No More-Affiliated Round Dances."
