CALL FOR PAPERS
David Bartholomae claims that by "inventing the university" students learn
the codes and conventions necessary to succeed. For Bartholomae, this is
done when students learn to write from an imagined position of academic
privilege. What happens when this privileged position can never be achieved
by minority students (or can only be achieved at too high a cultural cost)?
What can we as teachers to do?
Papers proposed for this panel might look at how these issues have been
dealt with in the past, how they are being dealt with now, and/or how they
might be better dealt with in the future. Papers that look at the history of
writing instruction for minority (racial, ethnic, gender, class, etc.)
students are also welcome.
