I also think that it's a great idea. I've seen a number of people involved
in Inkshed at the American WAC Conference, but the Americans tend to be way
ahead of us on this topic - it would be great to hear what other Canadian
institutions are doing and discuss these issues in a Canadian context.
Sincerely,

Hi Roger, and all
I would be totally on board with this idea for Inkshed. Could we add writing
across the disciplines for those of us teaching writing in interdisciplinary
programs?

Margaret (and the list),
We're working on developing writing in the disciplines initiatives here,
too. That one-day conference at Wilfrid Laurier in August suggests that the
interest is broader than our two institutions, so perhaps it might be the
focus for a national conference, either as an Inkshed, a traditional format
with panels, or some other format hitherto unimagined. I think some meeting
at which we discussed/ learned about past work, such as at Laurentian, that
preceded the SFU project, along with other models currently being used and
then put together some work-in-progress plans for our own institutions might
be useful. Sort of seems like an Inkshed-like idea to me.
