Hey y'all, I really think we should jump on this. I can't be a main organizer because of my capacity right now, but Jordan, Ellen, Janissa, or Katie, it sounds like it might be "write" up your alley? (heh, get it?) If anyone is interested in coordinating this with this person, please speak up and email them! I told them I'd give whoever a week to get in touch with them, and if they didn't hear from anyone at the Brick in a week, they would email again and I'd nag someone.<br>
<br><a href="mailto:Sarah.Groves@umit.maine.edu">Sarah.Groves@umit.maine.edu</a><br><br>To the Flying Brick Library:<br><br>I'm a former RVA dweller currently living in Maine for graduate school, but this<br>summer I'll be back in town. I'm a masters student currently studying radical<br>
pedagogy for basic writing, and I was wondering if The Flying Brick would be<br>interested in my teaching a course for people who haven't previously felt comfortable with<br>writing. I believe that having a more positive relationship to writing can be a<br>
powerful tool for self-liberation and the development of critical consciousness.<br><br>I know that this is a city of writers, and I'm sure you've offered classes on<br>writing in the past; however, I feel that I have a unique course to teach, which is<br>
essentially a critical examination of the conventions of academic and formal<br>writing. I would like more people to be able to make informed decisions about which conventions<br>to use to further their aims, and which to reject or subvert. <br>
<br>Please let me know if you would be interested in providing a space for this class.<br>If not, I would be interested in what other opportunities there are to volunteer<br>with The Flying Brick. I am a huge fan of voluntary learning spaces and would like<br>
to spend some time becoming part of this one.<br><br>--Rose Wednesday (In the process of a name change)<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Always with Solidarity<br><br>Nathan<br>
