"Designing and Sustaining Writing Programs for and with Multilingual Students" with Laura Gonzales, Assistant Professor of Digital Writing and Cultural Rhetorics, University of Florida
In this presentation, Gonzales will argue that multilingual students have important strengths and experiences that should be centralized in the development of writing programs. Positioning translation as a rhetorical technology that multilingual writers practice every day, Gonzales will suggest that language diversity should be a central component of writing curricula design across areas of specialization, including first-year composition and professional writing. Language diversity is an asset that should inform writing education, particularly as students prepare to work as effective communicators in contemporary academic, business, and community contexts.
