List FAQ

[ten grrl]

Greetings,

We missed the list's birthday, on October 24. We're officially one year old and we have just over 500 members. Thanks to everyone for joining.

This message is your monthly reminder that you are a member of (or you can join) WPA-Anno...@googlegroups.com for a curated list of announcements and calls for nominations, proposals, and job applicants, all relevant to Rhet-Comp folks. Feel free to share information on the list with interested colleagues and students.

What Is WPA-Announcements?

This is an announcement list for calls, job listings, conferences, and other matters of interest to those who teach rhetoric and composition in higher ed. Appropriate posts can include announcements for new sites, new books/articles, new journal issues, and other new/updated things of interest to those teaching in or managing writing programs.

The list does NOT forward the following:

• Survey invitations
• Announcements related to individual conference sessions
• Repeated posts/information on calls, jobs, etc., unless a reasonable period of time has passed or a correction is needed
• Advertisements for graduate programs and similar (e.g., apply to U of Somewhere's PhD program!)

What Kind of List Is WPA-Announcements?

This is not a discussion list. It focuses only on distributing relevant details on new, evolving, and in-progress work relevant to the scholarship of writing, composition, rhetoric and teaching (and all the intersections of those areas).

Where Do WPA-Announcements Come From?

Announcements are forwarded from a variety of sources, including WPA-L, WCENTER, ATTW-L, RSA, and CPTSC. Announcements from Twitter and Facebook may be forwarded as well.  All messages will be reviewed before posting.  I make decisions on all items that are posted. My decisions are final.
