Dear colleagues,
On behalf of WPA-GO’s Accessibility Committee, I’d like to invite you to attend our 2026 Summer Workshop, “Practicing Crip Collaboration: Disabled and Neurodivergent Approaches to Writing Together.” The workshop, scheduled for Friday, July 10th from 3:00-4:30 EST, will be facilitated by Sujash Purna, Rachel Herzl-Betz, and Ellen Cecil-Lemkin and will take place over Zoom. During the workshop, participants will use Cecil-Lemkin and Herzl-Betz's forthcoming chapter on scholarly co-authorship - which will be included in the edited collection Still Writing Together: Perspectives on Collaborative Scholarship in Rhetoric and Composition - as a starting point for active reflection, co-creation, and collaboration. Join us to explore access in your own co-writing process(es) and to foster your own accessible scholarly spaces!
To register for the event and receive access to the speakers’ chapter ahead of the workshop, please submit a response to the Summer Workshop Registration Form by Wednesday, July 8th. The Zoom link will be shared with respondents on the morning of Friday, July 10th.
We also encourage you to share this email or the attached flyer with the grad students in your network. You may direct questions regarding the workshop to the Accessibility Co-Chairs, Kelsey Hawkins and Hunter Whitt.
In solidarity,
Kelsey Hawkins

IUI acknowledges our location on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Miami, Potawatomi and Shawnee people. We honor the heritage of Native peoples, what they teach us about the stewardship of the earth and their continuing efforts today to protect the planet. Founded in 1969, IUI stands on the historic homelands of Native peoples and, more recently, that of a vibrant Black community, also displaced. As the present stewards of the land, we honor them all as we live, work and study at IUI.
