- W2888500819 abstract "2017 Conference on Community Writing Keynote Address:Place and Relationships in Community Writing Ellen Cushman (bio) I would like to thank Veronica and the CCW conference organizers for their leadership in making this wonderful conference possible and for inviting me to speak with you today. I also want to acknowledge the land we stand on today as the ancestral lands of the Nunt'zi (Ute) and Hinonoeino (Arapahoe) peoples. I've been inspired by the research and teaching we've heard in presentations and by the willingness you all have demonstrated time and again to create inclusive classrooms and communities. My talk today is aimed at helping us think through the kinds of discourse in our classrooms and communities that help to support the everyday work of border crossing and place-based learning to build community writing relationships. So much of national public discourse is mired in division and divisiveness. When the people who are our very role models for civic dialogue have sunk to new lows in the ways in which they speak with each other and the ways in which they speak about the peoples whom they ostensibly serve, it matters more than ever to think through the types of civically sustainable dialogue that can be used to foster inclusive ecologies and broadened personal networks. If the 2016 election process, results, and subsequent public discourse are any indication, around 60 million people in this country seem to feel alienated when it comes to questions of diversity and inclusion. I suspect this happens for a few reasons. Maybe they don't see themselves as having an identity that is based on the notion of peoplehood as broadly inclusive of many peoples, but believe in a sense of citizenship and nationalism that tacitly assumes multi-tiered subtypes of belonging and elevates white Anglophones (Barreto and Lozano). And so, they think of diversity and inclusion as something that only people of color need—as thinly-veiled institutional initiatives to re-package affirmative action and take away opportunities from presumably more-deserving candidates. Maybe they have bought into the narrative of meritocracy, that Americans have so many opportunities. If only 'these people' would work a little bit harder, the thinking goes, they could get ahead. And certainly, we've seen the return of open expressions of purely racist, social Darwinist vitriol from people who want to re-inscribe their narrative of white supremacy. For those people, the validation of their tradition must necessarily entail the degradation of other traditions. What is to be done? I'm not calling for a return to neoliberal understandings of public rhetoric. That rhetoric itself, based as it is on the good man speaking well from a particularly Western tradition, returns us only to a patriarchal and paternalistic understanding of democracy. I am talking about a public discourse and method used to strengthen inclusive communities and pluriversal institutions. Civic sustainability is a state [End Page 17] of harmonious, peaceful, and balanced everyday life within complex societies. When present, civic sustainability produces resilience, or peoples' perseverance, in complex societies and fosters an optimal learning environment for all. Civic Sustainability: A Definition Civic sustainability is based on four methods for developing place-based relationships in everyday border-crossing interactions in community literacy classrooms and research projects: ▸ Hold each other's differences in the highest regard ▸ Acknowledge long-standing inequities ▸ Act in good faith to broaden personal networks and to address biases ▸ Seek common grounds for shared action In community-based research and teaching, civic sustainability creates a culture of inclusion through discourse and research methods that stem from these four operating principles. In a very real way, then, community-based research and teaching becomes a microcosm for the learning ecologies and networks we hope to inspire, especially in this time of great division, uncertainty, and cultivation of fear of others. Civic sustainability may offer one avenue for redressing divisive public discourse, but how to enact this? For the remainder of my talk today, I'd like to offer some insights gathered from my research on Cherokee language manuscripts over the last ten years. In what follows, I focus on a small selection of phrases drawn from a broadside entitled..." @default.
