Episode Description: Hello again, world! We’ve all had arguments. Whether it’s been verbal banter or written in a thesis formatted paper, we’ve all likely had to argue and prove our point using different techniques. Today, the Hoo’s at the Writing Center Podcast team defines and explains a few of these techniques taken from Christopher Dwyer’s 18 Common Logical Fallacies and Persuasion Techniques, as well as our own experience. Sit back, relax, and listen as the team discusses the art of arguing!

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/ Episode Description: Hello, world! Thank you to everyone who submitted stories for our very first spooky story contest! We were blown away by your creativity, and it was really tough, but we've selected three of these stories to read for you all: "A Matter of Perception" by Josephine Whittock, "Ghost Reunion" by Verna McKinnon-Hipps, and an untitled entry by Benjamin Colby. We hope you enjoy! (Warnings for mild language and mild body horror.) Music Used: 1.

The Hoo's At The Writing Center Podcast Team would like to formally take a moment to address some confusion or miscommunication from our first episode, "Anti-Racist Work in the Writing Center". Specifically about some of the terminology we used and the reason for our choice of sources. Additionally, unlike our usual practice, we wrote a specific script for this episode in order to better express our thoughts in an orderly fashion. We have the responsibility to remain as transparent as possible and hope to continuously review our earlier episodes and respond and update as needed as part of our growth as a Writing center podcast. We are so incredibly happy to be able to do this work and will continue to be open to feedback and ways to continue reaching out to Seattle U students through this medium. Thank you for listening and we'll talk to you next time! For Reference, here are the quotes cited from the episode: 1. “Once we reconstruct and understand that institutional spaces must reimagine themselves to truly understand, integrate, and accept the diversity that exists in our world, we need new paradigms in order to enact that...If we don’t reimagine our institutional spaces beyond just the inclusion of having someone of a different race in the space, then we are not truly integrating anything.” (Why English Class is Silencing Students of Color | Jamila Lyiscott | TEDxTheBenjaminSchool, 2018). 2. "Diversity without changing the structure, without calling for structural formation, simply brings those who were previously excluded into a process that continues to be as racist, as misogynist as it was before." (University Speech, University of Virginia | Angela Davis) Episode Description: Hello again, world! October is not only the spookiest month of the year, it's also National Book Month!
