rhetoric and composition

The Composition and Rhetoric Area of the PCA/ACA seeks papers/projects
addressing the intersection of Popular Culture with Composition studies
and/or Rhetoric, as each of these terms can be most broadly construed.
We are interested in popular representations of writing, rhetoric, and
instruction in both, as well as the composed or rhetorical nature of
culture as expressed in popular artifacts. Topics include, but are not
limited to:

Deadline extended to Oct. 1, 2007

39th Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) Convention
April 10-13, 2008

Buffalo, New York

Despite the growth of composition studies and pedagogy as fields of interest
in recent decades and the simultaneous development of LGBT studies and queer
theory, these two areas of interest are rarely brought together. Drawing on
George Hillocks idea that theory forms the basis of coherent classroom
practice, this panel hopes to continue the discussion on queer pedagogy by
soliciting papers informed by theory, praxis, critical reflection, and
experience.

We invite papers on Rhetoric and Composition for the 39th Annual meeting
of the CEA. Papers for this area will draw on the conference
theme "Passages." Proposals may conceive the conference theme broadly.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following areas:

1st Year Writing
Basic Writing
Gendered Writing
ESL
Minority Rhetoric
Post-Colonial Rhetoric
Political Rhetoric
Digital Media

Proposals should be submitted via the online database at
http://english.ttu.edu/cea/conftool by November 1st, 2007.

THE PROMISE OF REASON:
THE NEW RHETORIC AFTER FIFTY YEARS

University of Oregon â€" May 17-20, 2008

Faculty and Graduate Students are invited to submit proposals for papers
and panels for this international conference commemorating the fiftieth
anniversary of the publication of Chaim Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-
Tyteca’s Le nouvelle rhétorique: Traité de l‘argumentation (1958), one of
the most influential twentieth-century rhetorical works.

The editors of _Learning Through Writing: A Compendium of Assignments and Techniques_
invite contributions for a new edition of our publication. _Compendium_ will be a collection of
essays, assignments, and writing guidelines designed as a cross-disciplinary resource for the
instruction of post-secondary writing. As well as providing valuable exercises and tips,
_Compendium_ addresses pedagogical and technological issues currently facing instructors,
such as the integration of editorial training within the classroom, teaching composition and
critical thinking across the disciplines, collaborative writing and the web, and negotiating the
digitization of library and archival resources.
