CCCC Wikipedia Initiative

Join us in discussing and addressing the importance of prioritizing accessibility in our writing
classrooms.

This month, join us in discussing the importance of prioritizing accessibility in our writing classrooms. Millie Hizer—a PhD Candidate in Rhetoric and Composition at Indiana University, Bloomington—will draw from pivotal scholarship at the intersection of Disability and Writing Studies to trace a non-linear history of disability and accessibility in the field of Rhetoric and Composition. Ultimately, she will reflect on the role this scholarship has played in her development as an emerging, multiply disabled teacher-scholar who plans to dedicate her career towards increasing access in both the writing classroom and higher education more broadly.After the talk, participants will be trained on how to edit Wikipedia. After training, participants will have the opportunity to improve and create Wikipedia articles related to pivotal scholars and scholarship at the intersection of Disability and Writing Studies. This is an interactive workshop. There will be opportunities for discussion, questions, and live editing.All comp/rhet scholars are welcome no matter their level of experience with Wikipedia. This event is limited to 25 participants.The workshop will be hosted on Zoom by Savannah Cragin, the CCCC Wikipedian-in-Residence.
