Hoo’s At The Writing Center

Hello, world! Hoo's at the Writing Center is celebrating their second birthday, which was 03/03, by taking a trip down memory lane and talking about what it takes to create a podcast. Join Maddy, Eleanor, and Kimberly as they struggle to remember anything because of the nature of #COVIDTimes and do what we do best: go on tangents. Here are some cool links to check out!

Hello, world! It has been quite some time since you last heard from us. We are resuming Season 6 of HATWC by talking about different media formats of consumption when it comes to novels (tl;dr print books versus literally everything else). Join Kimberly, Ali, and beloved never-heard-before HATWC member, Sabrina, on a chaotic and spontaneous conversation about accessibility, favorite series, and you, too, may also ask yourself, "Kimberly! How have you not read the Percy Jackson series?!" (spoiler: the answer is having siblings) Here are some cool links to check out!

Hello, world! Lovely to come out of hibernation for a quick second to post our collaboration episode with UREC and their Project Positive Campaign: Soothe Your Soul! Join the podcasters as we talk about things that soothe our soul in hopes of sharing with and inspiring our listeners on ways they may cope with anxiety during these times. Take a look at UREC's Project Positive Campaign happening until 3/6/22 and other related events. And a shout out to Sara Janosik from UREC for reaching out to the Writing Center in the first place. Feel free to check out the podcast's previous episodes on self care (found here and here!). We apologize for the lack of updates as being students means being busy! But do not fret, we are looking forward to continuing Season 6 when we get back from the break! :) Here are the articles Eleanor has kindly researched for us! 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/us/zoom-fatigue-burn-out-gender.html 2. https://ijeomaoluo.substack.com/p/is-it-self-care-or-is-it-capitalism 3. https://hbr.org/2018/08/how-self-care-became-so-much-work Here are some cool links to check out: More on UREC's Soothe Your Soul and the Project Positive Campaign in general!

Hello, world! The podcast thanks you for your patience as we navigate through finals and breaks and whatnot. For our last episode of the season, we asked you, the listeners, questions for us to answer! Whether it was advice, icebreakers, or deeper questions, we've enjoyed talking through them and hope that you did too! Remember, our answers are meant for fun and no intention to give advice that would put someone in danger. They are reflective of us only, the Podcast Team, and unrelated to Seattle U Writing Center and the Seattle U institution. Additionally, there are some hard topics later on in the episode regarding a question when dealing with hopelessness. If you are or a loved one are experiencing depression, we recommend signing up for Seattle U's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) or seeking professional advice more accessible and available to you. Unfortunately, the Podcast Team will be on hiatus will the start of Winter Quarter, but we wish you a lovely holiday season and cannot wait for Season 6! Here are the Podcast Team's Favorite Books (as promised) Kimberly: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (Reader, it WAS Rebecca) Maddy: Harry Potter Series Eleanor: Jane: A Murder by Maggie Nelson and the Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins Ali: An Ember in the Ashes Series by Sabaa Tahir Here are some cool links to check out: SU Writing Center Blog (read blogs from consultants, episode transcripts for the HATWC Podcast, and more!)

Sit back, relax, and listen as the team discusses the art of arguing!

Hello, world! We're so glad to be back in Winter Quarter with a new episode for you all. We thought it would be fun to just chill and chat about the things that got us through 2021, what we did over winter break, New Year resolutions, and exciting things to look forward to in 2021. So, grab your favorite warm beverage, snuggle up with a blanket and/or fluffy creature, find a journal if you want to scribble along, and hang out with us as we (in true SU fashion) reflect on last year and the year to come. As mentioned in the episode, here are some links to works by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as some resources from the Black Lives Matter movement. We understand that there is more to remembering Dr. King than simply reading and sharing famous quotes and speeches, so we encourage you to continue to educate yourself and take action against the systemic racial injustice that we still see after the death of King along with the rest of the podcast team. https://blacklivesmatter.com/resources/ https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019 https://wisdomquotes.com/martin-luther-king-jr-quotes/

Hello, world! The Hoo's At The Writing Center Podcast Team would like to formally take a moment to address some confusion or miscommunication from our first episode, "Anti-Racist Work in the Writing Center". Specifically about some of the terminology we used and the reason for our choice of sources. Additionally, unlike our usual practice, we wrote a specific script for this episode in order to better express our thoughts in an orderly fashion. We have the responsibility to remain as transparent as possible and hope to continuously review our earlier episodes and respond and update as needed as part of our growth as a Writing center podcast. We are so incredibly happy to be able to do this work and will continue to be open to feedback and ways to continue reaching out to Seattle U students through this medium. Thank you for listening and we'll talk to you next time! For Reference, here are the quotes cited from the episode: 1. “Once we reconstruct and understand that institutional spaces must reimagine themselves to truly understand, integrate, and accept the diversity that exists in our world, we need new paradigms in order to enact that...If we don't reimagine our institutional spaces beyond just the inclusion of having someone of a different race in the space, then we are not truly integrating anything.” (Why English Class is Silencing Students of Color | Jamila Lyiscott | TEDxTheBenjaminSchool, 2018). 2. "Diversity without changing the structure, without calling for structural formation, simply brings those who were previously excluded into a process that continues to be as racist, as misogynist as it was before." (University Speech, University of Virginia | Angela Davis)

Hello, world! The HATWC Podcast Team wants to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month (Sep. 15 - Oct. 15) by discussing a short story from a prominent Hispanic author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and his short story titled, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings. This short story follows a family who encounters an angel and the events that transpire from this entity entering the lives of a small community. The Podcast Team, in addition to celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, would like to introduce our Spooky Story Contest! Check out more details on our social media (@suwritingcenter on Instagram, Facebook, and @writingcentersu on Twitter) or check out the rules here! Also, check out our SU Writing Center Blog at suwritingcenter.weebly.com! Happy National Heritage Month and we can't wait to see your ~spooky~ stories!

The Hoo's at the Writing Center Podcast Team would like to address a number of things while acknowledging that more space and time is needed to explain them all. Firstly, we recorded this episode in Summer 2020. Prior to our recording of this episode, the Podcast Team understood that one episode would not be enough in engaging in an ongoing discourse about anti-racism. This is and should be an ongoing conversation, and we want to make it clear that this is just the start of it here on this podcast. Secondly, some of the terminology used in our episode may be interpreted differently from our intention. Terms such as "hidden racism," used here to express how racism can be so deeply ingrained in academic language that it becomes disguised and naturalized, does not change the fact that BIPOC face blatant racism. Additionally, the term "racist institution" may spark discourse about Predominately White Institutions (PWI) and the inherent exclusion within the education that PWIs are founded upon. We believe this discourse is both relevant and long-overdue. We also recognize that our use of two sources limits our research and responses, and as mentioned, the Delpit source (The Silenced Dialogue, 1988) is outdated. Our reasoning behind including Delpit's early work was meant to address an important piece that helped to begin the conversation surrounding racism in education. We recognize that since then, Delpit has expanded upon her earlier work [Delpit, Lisa. “Chapter 1: Interview with Lisa Delpit.” Counterpoints, vol. 246, 2005, pp. 1–10. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/42978716] and whereas Delpit's early work advocates for a kind of code-switching, the conversation currently focuses more on code-meshing. We've attached other resources that are more recent, relevant, and representative of the anti-racist work happening today (see RESOURCES link at the bottom). We want to address these issues out of transparency to our audience. We are always reviewing the content we publish to improve and learn as a podcast. We intended no hurt by any means from the content that was said, but we are open to the feedback and responses it may have incited. We will be recording a new “mini-episode” series (name pending), in which the first episode will be a follow up response to this full-length episode to further address some of the vague language as well as addressing more recent sources. Please feel free to contact us at writingcenter@seattleu.edu for any lingering inquiries or concerns. Thank you again for your patience with us, and we're looking forward to ruffling some feathers! -Kimberly Le, Karissa Lopez, Elena Selthun, and Sarah Shaffer (HATWC Team) RESOURCES

Hello, world! We're back a little later this week with another episode, where we take some time to discuss race and identity in the U.S. as it's depicted in Ken Liu's short story Paper Menagerie. When we recorded this episode a few weeks ago, we had no idea how relevant it would be at the time of publishing it. The topic of racism in the United States was relevant then, and it is relevant now. As a podcast team, we are here to listen and to educate ourselves, as well as share resources and the things we've learned with others. The MLK quote that we mentioned within the episode and wanted to share with you is "darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Here is just one of the many resources that you can use to stay informed on different ways to help and support the Black Lives Matter movement: www.blacklivesmatters.carrd.co
