Kelly, Heather M. Falconer, Caleb L. González, and Jill Dahlman, the collection celebrates the 50th anniversary of the WAC movement while also identifying innovative directions for writing pedagogies, program building and impact, and program mobilization.

Interested folks can read all or some of our selected book during the summer, then join other participants in September on Zoom (exact date/time TBA later in the summer) to discuss the book.

Both AWAC members and non-members are welcome to participate!

How do we sign up for the Zoom?
Keep an eye out for an email in August. This email will have the date and time of our synchronous conversation in September, as well as a link to a form that you can use to register.

Until then, feel free to start reading!
