[ATTW-L] Our Vital Discussion

[Long, Thomas]

ATTW Colleagues: First, let me introduce myself as a longstanding member of ATTW (and first taught tech writing at the University of Illinois as a grad student in 1976), but at the margins of our field (now a practitioner and coach in a nursing school rather than an instructor and researcher).

In all these years, I have never followed with such keen interest one of our listserv threads, which is of personal significance to me because of our many international graduate students and researchers in the UConn School of Nursing (from Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia), whom I treasure as friends and admire as colleagues.

I am particularly heartened by the respectful forthrightness of grad students and junior colleagues on this listserv.

This moment requires our mutual commitment to personal virtue, to be sure, but also to extending our advocacy for systemic change. Kindness and "wokeness" are necessary, but not sufficient.
