Why Writing?

Writing & Literacies On Air

This podcast surveys the emergence of the writing and literacies special interest group and asks the questions: “Why writing?" and "Why now?” Featuring some of the Writing and Literacies SIG's founding members: Dr. Sarah W Freedman Professor of the Graduate School at UC Berkeley and Dr. Glynda Hull, the Elizabeth H. and Eugene A. Shurtleff Chair in Undergraduate Education at UC-Berkeley, we engage in dialogue concerning the “what’s next” question for the SIG as the AERA annual meeting reaches its centennial. Brought to you by the AERA Writing and Literacies SIG Communication Team with special thanks to Jon Wargo, PhD Candidate, Michigan State University. Theme music in this episode composed and performed by SIG member Dr. Matthew Hall, Assistant Professor of Language and Literacy, The College of New Jersey.
