Toward Antiracist First-Year Composition Goals

We are finally ready to offer the FYC goals statement that my colleagues and I worked on. If you are unfamiliar with the history of how this document came to be, you can read about it in my past blog posts on the subject: 

• "Why I Left The CWPA (Council of Writing Program Administrators)," Apr 18, 2021
• "UPDATE -- CWPA Response to My Call for A Boycott," Apr 24, 2021
• "First-Year Composition Goals Statement," Jun 11, 2021 

Here's the full version of the goals statement. We hope it helps writing teachers and programs think through their own student learning goals with their students.

This blog is offered for free in order to engage language and literacy teachers of all levels in antiracist work and dialogue. The hope is that it will help raise enough money to do more substantial and ongoing antiracist work by funding the Asao and Kelly Inoue Antiracist Teaching Endowment, housed at Oregon State University. Read more about the endowment on my endowment page. Please consider donating to the endowment. Thank you for your help and engagement.
