[ATTW-L] CFP: Made Not Only in Grades: Multimodal Assessment in the Social Justice Turn

[Multimodal Assessment Collection]

Dear friends and colleagues,

We (Gavin P. Johnson, Ashanka Kumari, and Shane A. Wood) are excited to
call for born-digital projects for an edited collection tentatively
titled *Made
Not Only in Grades: Multimodal Assessment in the Social Justice Turn. *Here
is a brief abstract for the collection:

Assessment is central to contemporary writing studies praxis. Regardless of
our areas of expertise, pedagogical approaches, or institutional contexts,
all teachers engage with writing assessment—be it formative, informal,
peer-to-peer, teacher response, programmatic, etc. Scholarship on writing
assessment, multimodality, and justice-oriented practices has increased
over the past two decades; however, each of these respective discourses
have gaps. Writing assessment continues to be challenged by issues of
individual approach, fairness, and validity. Multimodality and antiracist
writing assessment overemphasize the alphabetic text (linguistic mode) as
opposed to various modes of communication (e.g., visual, oral, gestural,
spatial). This collection seeks to address gaps in research and works to
dismantle the manufactured separation of multimodality and antiracist
practices in writing assessment.

A full CFP and submission information is available at
https://tinyurl.com/multimodalassessmentcollection. If possible, share this
CFP with your networks.

We will be accepting proposals until *August 16, 2024.* If you have any
questions or would like to schedule a time to brainstorm with the Editors,
please email us at multimodalassessmentcollection at gmail.com.

Take care,
Gavin, Ashanka, and Shane
