Question: CWPA pledges “to promote research into student diversities; promote policies that increase diversity in our membership and in the population of people who administer writing programs; and explicitly act against the structures that cause injustice today,” and WPA-GO is dedicated to supporting this mission. How will your selection to the WPA-GO Graduate Committee advance this goal?
Sara Lovett: CWPA is an overwhelmingly white organization (as is the profession as a whole). While I, as a white person, will not help add to the racial diversity of CWPA, I am dedicated to recruiting and involving underrepresented individuals (especially non-white and immigrant graduate students) in our profession to WPA-GO.
