ALL-CONVENTION EVENT
At CCCC 2018 in Kansas City, an all-convention event, entitled "Literacy, Language, and Labor for Social Justice: Outward and Inward Reflection," will be held on Thursday, March 15, from 1:45-3:00 pm. The session will have short presentations by local activists from Kansas City, MO, who can speak to our concerns and needs as a diverse body of literacy, rhetoric, and writing teachers and researchers. In addition to the panel, we will have opportunities to talk in small groups in response to a collection of statements from teacher-scholars in our field reflecting upon literacy, language, and labor for social justice.
ACTION HUB
Please check out the various tables and booths in the Action Hub that focus on local activists, fundraising for local and national activist organizations (e.g., Literacy KC, The Center for American Indian Community Health, and Black Lives Matter), and gathering knowledge and info about activism and other social justice projects.
