Join Us for Monthly TAA Conversation Circles

Each month, TAA hosts a moderated open-discussion conversation on a topic of interest to textbook and/or academic authors. 

Upcoming Conversation Circle Schedule

 TOPIC: Incorporating Inclusive Content Into Your Writing

When: Wednesday, February 26 at 1-2 p.m. ET



Co-Moderator: Director, Content Standards Compliance Review Team at a publishing house

This Conversation Circle is designed as a safe space for only TAA members to come together and explore the impact of recent DEI legislation on your professional lives. You are invited to share and listen to colleagues in this open and facilitated discussion about how laws are being interpreted and DEI policy changes are affecting each of us in different ways. The goals of this conversation are to 1) build community and 2) gain some strategies to help navigate your textbook and academic writing.

A Director of the Content Standards Review Team at a publishing house, as well as Members of the TAA DEI Committee, will be here to share advice on how to maintain and advocate for your DEI values, even as the landscape continues to evolve. This meeting is intended to be apolitical and will not be recorded. Let’s work together to find ways to continue our commitment to inclusivity in these challenging times.
