Abstract
This article first describes how our two writing programs responded to moving online during the pandemic. Then, we pull lessons from our experiences and interrogate them, pushing against what we learned and demonstrating how anti-racist pedagogy and course design is imperative to include in discussions of accessibility and inclusion. Finally, we develop a set of questions we can use to make anti-racist policies and pedagogies a key part of accessibility.

Computers and Composition: An International Journal is devoted to exploring the use of computers in writing classes, writing programs, and writing research. It provides a forum for discussing issues connected with writing and computer use. It also offers information about integrating computers into writing programs on the basis of sound theoretical and pedagogical decisions, and empirical evidence. It welcomes articles, reviews, and letters to the Editors that may be of interest to readers, including descriptions of computer-aided writing and/or reading instruction, discussions of topics related to computer use of software development; explorations of controversial ethical, legal, or social issues related to the use of computers in writing programs.
