Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Call for Papers Special Issue of Lore on the Intersections of Literature and Composition Proposal Submission Deadline: July 1, 2008 The editors of Lore, an e-journal, are seeking submissions for a special issue dedicated to exploring the intersections of literature and composition. We will be accepting submissions of traditional scholarly inquiries (4,000 to 7,000 words) and shorter reflective pieces (500 to 2,000 words). Regardless of one's individual affiliations to literature or composition, the political, pedagogical, and intellectual intersections of these fields are particularly fraught for the newest community members of English studies. One the one hand, graduate students, adjunct instructors, and new faculty who identify as specialists in literature are aware of the schism between the training they receive as literary scholars and the pedagogical skills and theory they need to effectively teach composition. One the other hand, specialists in composition are trained to deal with student writing yet must wrestle with the contested status of literary texts in the writing curriculum. The editors of Lore seek texts that address this gap in understanding between the seemingly disparate—but always interrelated—fields of writing and literature. We hope to solicit contributions from both literature and composition specialists. Possible topics for submissions include: Literature Students Teaching Writing What preparation is needed for literature students to teach composition? How does the study of pedagogy impact scholars' work with literature? How does teaching writing change a graduate student's professional identity? Intellectual Links between Literature and Composition How are the fields of literature and writing interrelated? How does the study of literature influence research in composition? How does the study of composition influence research in literature? Professional Issues at the Crossroads of Literature and Composition How does each field cast its identity? How is the membership of each side different? Or the same? How does the divide between the two fields shape an English department? We are accepting both proposals (~500 words) and complete manuscripts. Email submissions to Colleen Foley (cmfoley@udel.edu) or Kate Huber (kmh@udel.edu) as a Word document, PDF, or web-authored text (in HTML). Please follow the MLA documentation format. -- Anthony Lioi, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Liberal Arts Interdivision The Juilliard School 60 Lincoln Center Plaza New York, NY 10023
