WHAT YOU CAN DO IN YAKIMA

If you have questions, please contact Olivia Hernandez or Carolyn Calhoon-Dillahunt.

As writing and literacy instructors, we often feel the pull and the push to be actors in all contexts, in many disciplines, and across our institutions. Because composition is a nearly universal college requirement, composition instructors in particular are also subject to legislative and administrative mandates, which often further constrain and complicate our work and working conditions.  Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also been asked to teach in so many different ways as we navigate the curricular approaches to online, in-person, and hybrid instruction while simultaneously trying to address pandemic "learning loss," a digital divide, rapidly changing technologies (often required for post-secondary coursework), evolving literacies, and diverse linguistic and learning needs in our classrooms and programs. 

For the 2023 TYCA-PNW Conference, we invite you back to Yakima, Washington, for the first face-to-face TYCA-PNW gathering held since we last assembled together here in 2019. We look forward to learning with and from one another and to reflecting collaboratively on the ever-evolving, ever-expanding role of composition instructors within our classrooms, our colleges, and our communities.
