Assessment of June 9 goals
I got a satisfactory, not-so-critical draft written and sent it to the 2 authors so they could check my interpretation of the coding.  I sent them the draft last night and they sent it back with comments today! It turns out I had some of the codes and terms wrong, which they corrected and explained. They also questioned what I meant by some of my own terms.  Their comments and corrections will really help me as I revise.

Focus for Today, June 10
To educate myself about race and discrimination (macro and micro-agressions) in my profession, I chose to read a section of a book I needed to read in order to evaluate a faculty member from another university for full professor.  The section of 5 essays was about black writing center tutors and administrators and writing teachers and their both positive and negative experiences in the writing center and writing classroom. Some of the narratives were quite powerful, eye-opening, and well-written.  One in particular I'd like to use for the  Undergrad Writing Fellows and the Grad Writing Center classes I'll teach in the fall.
