Proposed Panel Title: Mug Shots: Criminal Identity and Visual Representation

Panel Summary: From late-nineteenth century phrenology to today’s
cutting-edge forensics, criminological discourses have often relied on
visual imagery to identify and contain the criminal body. This panel will
explore the visual representation of criminality in a variety of media,
considering how such representations shape the public's understanding of
crime and criminal identity. Moreover, this panel hopes to complicate the
notion of criminal representation by questioning what constitutes evidence
and the investigative process, who has the authority to identify the
criminal, and who has access to justice.

During the twentieth century in the United States, numerous factors, including feminism, late
capitalism, the increasing acceptance of interracial marriage and calls for legalizing gay
marriage, as well as conservative backlashes against these movements, have profoundly altered
the way we view marriage. While the range of topics affecting marriage as well as potential
authors studied are open, papers examining how changing ideas about ethnic, racial, religious,
and/or sexual identity affect the treatment of marriage in late twentieth-century and early
twenty-first-century American literature are especially welcome. Please email 250-500 word

The Other Sides of Silence: Negotiating Race in Writing Center
Discourse and Practice

Call for Proposals

In 2005, Victor Villanueva called upon the writing center community to
examine the language, rhetoric, and material reality of racism that
shapes our work. In his exegesis of the "new racism," which "embeds
racism within a set of other categories—language, religion, culture,
civilizations pluralized and writ large," he reminds us that writing
centers, like the institutions in which they are situated, are not
racially neutral sites of discourse and practice.
