Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for participating in the Doodle poll—and in some cases, adding more availability!

 

It turns out that the afternoon session was still the most popular, so we will stick with that one. The spring BAWCA meeting will be held on Thursday, April 11, 2pm – 4pm.

 

As always, we apologize that we can’t accommodate all schedules, but we really hope to see many of you there, and/or at NEWCA in March!

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

Best,

Kristina and Devon

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you so much to those of you who have already filled out our Doodle poll to determine the time for our April 11 meeting (details below).

 

Because a considerable number of folks indicated they are not available on Thursday afternoons, I have added some morning times. I greatly apologize for asking this, but if you already filled out the poll, would you mind please revisiting it and adding your morning availability? https://doodle.com/poll/8p88khb7dqb83fgz

 

If you haven’t yet filled out the poll, please do so by Monday. I will choose a time on Monday and let everyone know asap.

 

Thank you (and my apologies again)!

Kristina

Subject: Spring BAWCA meeting

 

Hi everyone,

 

We’d like to determine the time for the spring meeting of Boston Area Writing Center Administrators (BAWCA) so that we can get it into everyone’s calendar!

 

Our next meeting will be focused around a presentation by David Shawn and Heather Barrett from Boston University, a follow-up to their NEWCA presentation “Identifying and Coping with Changes in the Center,” which will include updated information from a study they are doing on the changes they presented about. We will hold the meeting on April 11 at Boston University, but we’d love input into what time to hold the meeting. Please fill out this doodle poll to help us determine the meeting time as well as get a sense of how many people to expect.

 

Please fill out the poll by next Friday (Feb 22), and at that point, we’ll choose a time and send out confirmation as well as more information! Let us know if you have any questions

 

Best,

Kristina and Devon

Hello, all. I hope your summers are going well and that you're better prepared for the upcoming semester than I am. I'm passing along an opportunity for your tutoring staff to participate in a research project led by Jasmine Kar Tang at the Univ of Minnesota. She is specifically investigating the experiences of Asian and Asian American student tutors at writing centers. See below for more details and please pass along to your staff.

Thanks,

Neal

Hi!

My name is Jasmine Kar Tang, and I work in the Student Writing Support program at the University of Minnesota. I’m in the early stages of a research project on the experiences of Asian and Asian American student tutors at writing centers, and I am recruiting research participants who are willing to do a one-hour Zoom interview with me. Participants will also be asked to complete a 5-minute questionnaire before we meet, and after the Zoom, each interviewee will receive a $25 Amazon gift card in compensation for their time.

I invite all Asian people—even those who feel like they’re on the margins of Asian or Asian American identity—to participate. This includes South Asians, multigenerational Asian Americans, recent immigrants, mixed-race folks, adoptees, Asian international students, and more folks from Asian communities I haven't named. Also, tutors need to have worked at a writing center for at least two semesters to participate.

If this sounds like you, please complete this quick interest form! Once we confirm some details, I’ll follow up with you. The form invites your comments and questions, but I also welcome you to contact me via email (j...@umn.edu) with any questions.

Thank you, and I can’t wait to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Jasmine
