The topic for this lecture is, "Fail Hard and Prosper: Encouraging Exploration in Spaces of Digital Writing": Using examples from the speaker's classrooms, as well as pop culture references that establish mainstream narratives of growth through failure, the speaker will offer insights into the importance of taking an untraditional approach to "success" in writing education. This interactive lecture interrogates possibilities that arise through digital composing when failure is seen as an alternative educational practice that encourages a more sustainable relationship to writing for students and future workforce members.
