Teaching and Pedagogy
Deadline for Submissions: November 10, 2001
The 7th Annual GES Conference will be held February 22-23, 2002 at Texas
Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. The theme of this year's conference,
"Past and Future Perspectives: Negotiating our Changing Field," addresses
our changing field from the graduate scholar's perspective. The palindrome
of the year suggests examination of ways our past can help us deal with our
future regarding issues arising from new theories, cultural shifts,
evolving technologies, and recent discoveries.
Cheryl Glenn of Penn State will be the keynote speaker. She is author of
the recent Rhetoric Retold: Regendering the Tradition from Antiquity
Through the Renaissance, a look at figures such as Aspasia, Diotima,
Margery Kempe, and Julian of Norwich. Her current book-length project is
The Fifth Canon: Gender and Delivery.
In the teaching and pedagogy area, I'm looking for abstracts on issues
including the following: reclaiming the past (reclaiming pedagogical
techniques that went out of favor), inventing the future (creating new and
innovative pedagogical techniques that look forward to where our students
will be in their futures, and what they will need to know to support those
futures), and combining the past and the future (combining traditional-even
current traditional-pedagogies with contemporary goals or
technologies). Although all abstracts that deal with teaching and pedagogy
will be considered, I'm particularly looking for abstracts that deal with
innovative pedagogies for teaching technical writing, creative writing,
literature, and other non-composition courses. Abstracts on instructional
technologies and complicating old or proposing new pedagogical theories are
also especially invited.
E-mail submissions are strongly encouraged; please put "GES Conference
Proposal" in the subject line for all electronic submissions. Participants
may present no more than two papers or be on no more than two panels.
Abstracts/Proposals (250 words) and inquiries should be addressed to:
