Envisioning Possible Publics: Valuing Place & Creating Space in Writing Partnerships
Drawing on concepts from her book Public Pedagogy in Composition Studies, Professor Holmes will talk about the importance of public places and spaces in the teaching and learning of composition. She discusses public pedagogy through recent examples in her own teaching, explores how digital and mobile media enhance student engagement, and examines how recent "student success" movements might intersect with or undermine public pedagogy.

Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A then a workshop, facilitated by Professor Holmes, on identifying our publics and developing ideas for engaging with them in our pedagogy. You are welcome to come for as much or as little as the event as you can make it to!
