JOIN US for the Composition Pedagogy Reading Group: The purpose of the group is to enhance students’ background in composition pedagogy as an area within the discipline. New MA and PhD students are encouraged to come but also any grad students who want to develop their teaching and strengthen their ability to speak about writing pedagogy on the job market. We'll focus on the second edition of The Guide to Composition Pedagogies, reading 2-3 chapters from the book, plus supplementary readings. We meet in the Center for Teaching Excellence for an hour to an hour and a half between 3-5 beginning Friday September 11.
