Hoo’s At The Writing Center

Welcome back to the Hoo's At The Writing Center Podcast! For our final episode of the season, we wanted to kick back and talk adaptation. Adaptations of popular media are everywhere, and there is robust academic discourse about adaptation, too! Writing Center consultants talk adaptation theory, some of their favorite adaptations, and issues facing the industry in this episode. Happy summer, and see you next year!

Welcome back to the Hoo's At The Writing Center Podcast! In this episode, we highlight some research conducted by our very own writing consultants in to important questions that writing centers are wrestling with as AI becomes a ubiquitous tool. How do students feel about AI, and how it fits in with the Writing Center's linguistic justice mission? Tune in to find out!

Welcome back to the Hoo's At The Writing Center Podcast! In this episode, we adapt "The Way I Write," an on-campus panel, into a memorialized and accessible podcast. Drs. John Armstrong, Sonora Jha, and Eric Severson speak on their experiences as writers in a conversation across disciplines.

Enjoy this Halloween episode with new voices, Kat and Max! Here, we discuss horror movies and shows and we feature the winner of the Spooky Story Contest. Thank you Ben for your submission! The link to the PDF version of the entire story will be placed below. Please read at your own discretion, as some of the content involves mild violence and gore.   Seattle U Spooky Story Entry Ben Colby #3.pdf

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! 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!)

Hello, world! We’ve done an episode on Creative Writing, why not an episode about writing in research (in our experience) and any tips or tricks we can offer to students? Whatever major you are, you are bound to have written at least one paper where you had to research extensively about a topic. Here are some quick tips! (The resources we mention are listed below; click for links!) Lemieux Library's Research Toolkit Lemieux Library Catalog & Landing Page Lemieux Library’s Handy Dandy Research Guides Help, What Are Booleans?!?!

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 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

Hello again, world! We are back with a highly sentimental episode that features just two of our wonderful seniors at the Writing Center! In this episode, you'll hear Mady and Frances tell us about their experience working in the center and attending Seattle University, as well as some words of wisdom they've bestowed upon us. Thank you WC seniors for everything you've done! We wish you all the best of luck on your journey, and we're so glad we got to be a part of it!
