Reading club provides a space to discuss writing center scholarship. Based on the articles or chapters chosen, participants will share experiences, ideas, strategies, and questions about online writing centers (OWCs).

Reading Abstract

February’s reading club discussion will be a little different. This month, we’re asking participants to “read around” some recent publications concerning generative AI and writing. Choose one or more articles from the “Where We Are: AI and Writing” section of Composition Studies 51.1 and/or from the upcoming Computers and Composition 71 and come ready to discuss what you’ve read. Through this “read around,” participants become familiar with their chosen text(s) through thorough reading or skimming. We’re hoping this approach will help facilitate a discussion around multiple dimensions of this burgeoning issue.

Guidelines for Participating

Reading Club is currently held in a Zoom Pro room. Participation is open to everyone, including not-yet OWCA members. To ensure a safe space for open communication and interaction, these sessions will not be recorded.
