⚡️ “#revisionandreform NYU2020 Symposium” by @NYU2020ReVision https://t.co/4LjgVXzwjD Check out the record of the conference conversations as they were happening on Twitter!
Play is iterative: @rrussellsloan Iteration is where play becomes practice. You have the capaciousness, the boundlessness that enable students' quest for meaning #revisionandreform
#revisionandreform@natespoetics and Carlos Burgos are presenting on poetry as an occasion for students to initiate critical inquiry into "real life" issues that are meaningful to them
And the last panel is on play! May we all remember that any kind of knowledge production is an act of play! Thank you all for playing with us.... @NYU2020ReVision
#revisionandreform @rrussellsloan Playful engagement w/digital tools - a framework of rigorous play - as a way to empower multilingual students to break the many borders that limit and oppress them
@ProfBrowPow The job of teachers and administrators is to do a lot more of listening - to student tutors, student writers - their experiences, struggles, and needs #revisionandreform
#revisionandreform The Social Justice roundtable discussion almost inevitably turned to questions of language & identity: translanguaging, code-meshing, what it means to be monolingual@multilingual. Also difficult questions of being a white prof teaching writing
@ProfBrowPow When translingualism is a norm, then writing centers can play an empowering role for multilingual students. Challenge: writing centers are liminal spaces with not enough power in academia #revisionandreform
Bell's unit of Race&Space addresses personal and collective racial geographies: to what extent does writing help students articulate racial counter-geographies? Explicitly anti-colorblind assignments challenge divisions between different student populations in NYC neighborhoods
#revisionandreform Sophie Bell on Writing Across Differences with a shout out to @sureshcanax 's key note that examined negotiation of meaning between students and their writing teachers.
#revisionandreform Amy White, CUNY is sharing writing assignment prompts for pre-med students that make them question the border between personal and professional.
