And so this is a Black-led farm that really focuses on racism in the food system and empowering Black youth to think about getting connected to farming.
And I met someone during my conference on community writing that I put on every two years, met someone from the farm, and I
gave her the book and asked if we could connect later.
So that was probably the most exciting thing in terms of offering the book out.
My partners are very happy with it.
They're so proud to be featured in it.
And I'm looking forward to hearing from people who end up using it in courses or who are moved by it.
It was for the work that I did with the initiative I started, which was called the Writing Initiative for Service and Engagement, the WISE project.
It started in 2008.
I had been working at the university for two years and had been doing service-based courses.
And some of my colleagues were asking how they could do it.
There was some work happening in the department, but we didn't talk about it together.
And there wasn't a kind of shared resources and talking about partnerships and things like that.
And so I talked with my director about launching something where I could
help build this work in the program.
It seemed like there was a desire for it, but I wanted to help, you know, look at best practices, get people more invested in ethical partnerships and things like that.
Like, how do we do this in a, in a robust way?
And so I launched the wise project and over the 15 years that I worked there, built it up to be
really one of the first writing programs in the country to have integrated community engagement through our entire curriculum.
So from the first year writing classes to our upper division topics in writing, business writing, science writing, environmental writing, working with professors across the curriculum.
