Linguistic Prejudice And A Call For Epistemic Rights, Beth Godbee Oct 2014

Linguistic Prejudice And A Call For Epistemic Rights, Beth Godbee

Beth Godbee

Through work on a larger project, I have come to believe that the terms and related framework of epistemic injustice and epistemic rights are crucial. They are crucial for explaining the wrong of school English when it strips writers of their sense of knowing and their attendant agency, confidence, and even personhood. They are crucial for identifying, describing, and responding to the wrongdoing—the microaggressions and larger injustices—that Richardson recounts and that many scholars (e.g., Powell; Smitherman; Villanueva; Young) have documented.

Commitment-Driven Co-Authoring, Tanya Cochran, Rasha Diab, Beth Godbee, Thomas Ferrel Dec 2013

Commitment-Driven Co-Authoring, Tanya Cochran, Rasha Diab, Beth Godbee, Thomas Ferrel

Beth Godbee

In our experience collaborating—with each other and with others—we have come to see again and again that shared commitment is what really drives collaboration, what makes it possible. Lack of shared commitment (or voicing of, explicit agreement on, or even evident effort toward enacting shared commitment) seems to underlie co-authoring experiences that go awry. In this way, co-authoring is not about a procedural division of labor; rather, it is about expressing and trusting our shared commitment and learning the strengths of each collaborator so that we can draw on—lean into—each others’ strengths to move ourselves and the current project forward. …

Beth Godbee

Description: Some instructors are very successful having students work collaboratively to develop evaluation criteria for papers--an alternative to instructos giving students rubrics or criteria.  Beth Godbee offers a persuasive argument about how much students learn from developing evaluation criteria and offers detailed advice about how to do this.
