In this workshop, we will address how to code-mesh in the graduate setting with regards to writing style, language, tone, and content. We will brainstorm ideas for code-meshing in our own work and analyze examples that include the work of CGU students and published scholars.

REMINDER! The CWR Anti-Discrimination Committee's workshop on Diversifying Resources is this Friday! Register now to attend.
⁠
What is knowledge? On the surface, this question seems to beg a universal answer, but the politics of knowledge production are far from neutral. A Western philosophical paradigm has primarily shaped how we perceive knowledge and characterize those who can claim knowledge on a particular academic subject. The following workshop on “Diversifying Resources” attempts to help students question the Western assumptions of what knowledge is and what types of peoples and cultures are allowed to be the purveyors of knowledge by refocusing our attention on sites of knowledge production outside of the traditional Western canon.⁠
⁠
Location: IAC Library (831 N Dartmouth Ave, Claremont CA 91711)⁠
Date and Time: October 28, 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm⁠
⁠
Students who need accommodations to attend or participate in this event should contact the Office of Disability Services at [email protected] at least one week prior to the event.⁠
