AWAC social media post that reads "AWAC's Mentoring Committee is excited to announce this year's AWAC Summer Reads!" AWAC social media post that reads as follows: "What are we reading? The summer edition of this group focuses on a monograph (instead of an article like our AWAC Reads program during the academic year). For Summer 2025's AWAC Summer Reads, we are reading Writing Expertise: A Research-Based Approach to Writing and Learning Across Disciplines by Linda Adler-Kassner and Elizabeth Wardle." AWAC social media post that reads as follows: “How do we sign up? Keep an eye out for an email in August. This email will have the date and time of our synchronous conversation in September, as well as a link to a form that you can use to register. Interested folks can read all or some of our selected book over the summer, then join other participants in September on Zoom (exact date/time TBA later in the summer) to discuss the book. Until then, feel free to start reading!” AWAC social media post that reads as follows: “Questions about AWAC summer reads? Contact Jackie Kauza whose e-mail is j kauza at iu dot edu. We look forward to reading and discussing with you!”

A student recently asked about resources to help her as a novice research writer in #education. Any recommendations?

Any other scholars out there tasked with teaching SEAE grammar? I’d love to build a small network of people to consult on obscure grammar questions.

I think this is brilliant and should be passed on to the Education Secretary nominee.

Anyone interested in playing game? Here’s the question: How is education like professional wrestling? e.g. All sessions are scripted but don’t always go as planned.
