Getting Involved

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE DRPC 

The DRPC Community includes students, scholars, and community members who are invested in building a coalition around the goal of teaching about digital privacy and surveillance in writing classrooms. We hope to cultivate a network of engaged people thinking critically about some of the most timely, high-stakes topics of the day. 

  • Followers are friends of the DRPC who connect with us online. Follow us on Twitter @drpcollective, on Facebook (forthcoming), and on Instagram (forthcoming). You can find out more information about the collective at our website: www.drpcollective.com 
  • Instructors are folks who make use of the resources archived with DRPC in their teaching. We want to hear about how you’re using the resources. Be sure to tag us on social media and use the hashtag #DRPCTeachers
  • Friends are folks who want to engage in the intellectual and pedagogical conversations that DRPC is creating online and in our intellectual communities. You’ll find us at most conferences in Rhetoric and Writing Studies and we’d love to have you attend our sessions. You can also plug into the conversations we’re having once a month during DRPC Office Hours, where DRPC Advisory Board members facilitate a conversation about a topic of interest in the space of digital privacy and surveillance.

DRPC Collaborators are folks in our community who want to take a more active role in the mission of the DRPC. Collaborators can offer their time and labor to the collective in any of the ways listed below. It is important to the collective to make sure that everyone gets credit for their intellectual labor. To ensure that this happens, collaborators will receive a letter acknowledging their work on DRPC letterhead. We also encourage folks to cite the work of DRPC collaborators whenever possible (see examples below).

  • Creators are folks who share their work with us so that we can extend its reach and amplify the work of teachers who care about rhetoric and critical digital literacy. If you have an assignment, an activity, or a resource that you want to make available to the DRPC community, email it to drpcollective@gmail.com to submit it for review/consideration.
  • Contributors are folks who participate in a DRPC project by offering their expertise to bring it to fruition and circulate it within our intellectual and institutional networks.
  • Partners are peer groups and organizations that connect with the DRPC to work collaboratively on either project-based or ongoing, mutually beneficial goals.
