Instructors keen to incorporate writing in their classroom may see it as a possibility for students to share their perspectives and beliefs on a course topic. As students share their thoughts, they may communicate in ways that reproduce harmful or ignorant views, especially regarding aspects of race and culture. Similar to concerns about providing feedback to student writing, instructors may lack vocabulary or approaches to effectively recognize and suggest changes to student writing that engages in racism. 

In this workshop, participants will develop a foundational understanding and vocabulary related to race, racism, and antiracism (Bonilla-Silva, Ore) and reflect on leverage points (Ladson Billings) to potentially integrate Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy into writing assignments. Introduced vocabulary will cover differences in individualized vs systemic views of racism, accounting for everyday views of race that enable racism, and consideration of contextual antiracist responses. Participants will brainstorm the contexts and types of writing students engage in their course and consider where there is room for framing writing with anti-racism and or culturally sustaining pedagogies.
