Abstract

This article provides insight into how an accountability writing group for faculty of color supports faculty writers. It argues that targeted programming for faculty of color can serve as a modest anti-racist intervention into the white supremacist structures that often harm BIPOC faculty and their success in academia. Examining interview, survey, and registration data from a writing group for faculty of color, the article shows how the writing group functions as a counterspace, enabling participants not only to spend more time on their writing but to bring their full selves into an academic space and to form community. The article explores three themes that make this possible: institutional permission, accountability, structure, and writing routines, and community. It also provides a model that can be adapted by writing center administrators interested in hosting targeted anti-racist programing for BIPOC faculty writers.
