CALL for PAPERS
New Jersey College English Association Spring Conference
March 24, 2001
Seton Hall University
Conference Title: Professing English
Paper Topics:
In recent years, the status, condition, and future of post-secondary
English Studies has changed dramatically. With the crisis of the job
market, the decline of secondary schools, the influx of students of a
variety of backgrounds and disciplines, the impact of technology in and
out of the classroom, and the changing nature of the academic world in
general, Universities, and particularly English Departments, have had to
face difficult and challenging decisions. In short, the Profession of
English, whether that profession reflects a choice of career or lifestyle,
has, clearly, changed. The topic of the conference is intended to address
any aspect of the profession itself and the nature of what we, within that
profession, profess, declare, confirm, and even proclaim, within and
beyond it.
Papers and panels addressing any aspect of college English will be
considered, especially those addressing issues associated with the
Profession, such as English education; composition programs; canon
formation; the general state of the profession; "creative" vs. academic
writing; the position of adjuncts and graduate students; the state of the
English major; ESL, Developmental, and bi-lingual programs; the status of
critical theory (and its impact in the twenty-first century); particular
periods and areas of study and their continued relevance; teaching
pedagogy and methodology; the impact of technology in and out of the
classroom; the changing faces of faculty in English Departments; and
issues of gender, race, and culture as they affect us as scholars,
teachers, and colleagues.
The NJCEA brings together those interested in language, literature,
pedagogy, and other aspects of the teaching and study of English-anyone
with an interest in any of these topics, or indeed others, is encouraged
to propose a paper or a panel.

Graduate students, faculty, adjuncts, and other professionals within the
field of English are invited to send panel proposals and paper abstracts
