The Texas Woman's University Division of English had an impressive showing at the 91st Conference of College Teachers of English Feb. 27-March 1 in San Antonio.
Ten TWU graduate students or recent alumni gave presentations: Anna Anderson, Alexis Ramirez, Crystal Sosa, Karissa Garza, DesireƩ Thorpe, Lia Schuermann, Bethany Weston, Raegan Harvey, Juliette Holder, and Amanda Kerr.
Two of those earned awards, first-year composition instructor Weston took home the TCEA Best Paper of the Year Award for “Counter-Composition: Critical Race Theory Counterstory as a Means of Pedagogical Escape,” and PhD student Sosa earned the award for best nonfiction entry, “Hurricane: A Family’s Tale of Devastation.”
