Hello everyone,
Fify Juliana and I, at Arizona State, have sent information on the GSSIG and the blogspot to all of our graduate students and I have already heard back from a few that are forwarding it to other universities.
It's exciting to have this space to begin a conversation and I'm interested in what Matthew asked about what this space/SIG should be used for.
I'm interested, based on my work with other grad students, in exploring our research topics, but also professional development and teaching. I think it would be great to start threads on various topics, as specific as 19th C spiritualism and rhetoric, as broad as Peer Review Workshops in first year comp. I don't know exactly what others have had in mind but this seems like it would be a good way to start discussing issues we face as grad students and grad student teachers and writers at a national (etc) level.
What do you think?

I like the idea a lot of various threads of discussion--from the general to the specific, from pedagogical to theoretical to methodological, etc. Perhaps a blog is kind of a limited format for this? Or maybe we should create a bunch of separate blogs and use this site as centralized place to link to those?
Or we could just get a message board or wiki going...
thanks for posting! Other ideas?
Hey folks,
I know from experience with another group blog on this site that it's not the best for developing threads. Responses to the main posts usually get overlooked after awhile, and threads die out pretty quickly. There are other blog sites that might provide better environments. But hey, you can't beat free...
I think this is a great idea, though. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you.
