Hi all, Iris Ruiz is looking for a co-author to join her current Race and Writing Program Administration manuscript, which is about half-way complete. The project is contracted with Parlor Press. Please message [email protected] if interested!

Four members of the Institute met with new CWPA leadership and members of the newly formed Outcomes task force. The conversation was very civil and pointed to possible future collaborations based upon The First Year Goals Statement designed by the previous task force AKA IRRL.

We'd like to congratulate Iris Ruiz for having received the 2021 WPA Outstanding Scholarship Award. The word is that many great pieces did not necessarily receive their usual "conference love" due to COVID, and other ideological battles, but this seems like a big step forward!

To one of our founding members who still experiences racial trauma, we see you.

I’m starting a new pedagogical project while working through trauma and trauma studies. As always, my work is informed by a Chicana Feminist Perspective. #ChicanaFeminism #ChicanaHealing #HealingJustice #EverydayResistance #LatinaVoices #Comunidad #WorkbookLaunch
