Abstract:
Online writing consultations, which are inherently multimodal, can be enhanced through peer consultants’ use of multimodal pedagogies. At University Writing, peer consultants experience a professional development curriculum focused on multimodality and welcoming diverse writers, and they write consulting philosophy statements that reinforce their learning. Through writing and maintaining these statements, peer consultants and administrators can develop methods of addressing writers’ needs supportively, with special attention to serving diverse writers online through principles grounded in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This workshop explores the connections between multimodality and DEI and guides the audience through planning their own consulting philosophy statements.
