Reflection on the week:  I had to spend this week on service obligations that are due. I'm hoping to get some work done on my research study on mixed language writing next week: the curriculum for it and the IRB application. I won't get the teacher's syllabus for Latino Lit for the IRB application though until June 15, so I won't be submitting the application during camp. I could make some progress on it during camp, especially since I may be submitting it for another conference. 

Week 2 - Overall Goals: Try to wrap up the self-study, at least do everything I can do on it and then send it to my chair. That way, I can at least spend a day or two on my IRB application.

End-of-camp reflection:

Next steps:

Hi--I'm Carol Severino, a Rhetoric prof and Writing Center director. I am in the field of Writing Studies, especially second language writing. I also like to write creative non-fiction. I'm eager to get to know you, what dissertation topics you are working on, and what your other interests are. 

 I always look forward to camp because I work well with an imposed structure that others are also following. I plan to work with my two collaborators to write up a study we did of mixed language writing and Spanish heritage learners. There is a large literature both on heritage language learners and on mixed language writing, sometimes called translingual writing or codemeshed writing. Right now I'm trying to read as much of the two bodies of lit as I can and try to map their controversies relevant to our study. 

In my free time, I like to play the drums, learn and speak Italian, read fiction and memoir, hang out with my granddaughters and my sons's families and our dogs, cook, eat outdoors, garden, and swim.
