@kristinarola: a structure like #4C19 is like a big barge; you can poke at it to try to make it change direction, but unless everyone else is of the same mind, there will be no change of course. Every Indigenous scholar is tired and exhausted from trying.

Panel also had Andrea Riley-Mukavetz who started with reference to Tina Fontaine and murdered and missing Indigenous women. Structural, institutional change is too slow or non-existent when it comes to making space for Indigenous people, bodies, students, scholars. #4C19

@DrMalea: if someone wants to engage in decolonial work, let’s not let them skim the surface, let’s teach them that it’s a long, impossible haul and that it will not be over in their lifetime. #4c19 #writingstudies #cdnwrds

@kristinarola: should we cite bush knowledge? how can bush knowledge be cited? what would it look like to cite bush knowledge? not sure if she wants anyone to cite her bush knowledge.

#4C19 in Pittsburgh. City of all the bridges. 3/

Grateful for all the encouragement received and suggestions made in relation to this project I'm working on with @MarrWalsh. Ready to grow it into a fuller-sized manuscript. Just as soon as courses are over. 🙃 #writingstudies #cdnwrds #teamrhetoric #4C19 2/

Had a amazingly productive time at the #4C19 international writing workshop. Highly recommended for those thinking of attending in upcoming years. Worked with fabulous scholars like @vieira_kate, @a_az07, @st_guenzel, @magustatwtr, @NordisktKlimat, & more. #writingstudies 1/

Watching all these #4C19 scholar selfies gives me some fomo about not presenting my paper on piety and performance in wellness discourse because my personal life took me elsewhere. Genuinely feel torn! Hi, esp to my #medrhet people.
