Whether it is the invented spellings rapidly typed with thumbs into a phone
or the deftly interpreted visual cues of a complex video game, many of the
students we are now teaching, and most of those in our future, have a need
for skills in areas commonly ignored by traditional classrooms. How do we
meet the needs of students who are more skilled on a computer than we are?

SOUNDINGS: An Interdisciplinary Journal invites article submissions on the
notion of "practice" from across the disciplines. Contemporary social
theorists often invoke notions of practice and tradition to explain the
regularity and continuity of social behavior. Yet, these practices remain
mysterious, and many claim, lack a firm theoretical foundation. SOUNDINGS is
seeking articles which engage practice theory from an interdisciplinary
perspective with a special emphasis on the ways in which practice theory might
illuminate understandings of moral and political values.

CFP: Transformative Literacy Pedagogies (4/27/07; CCCC '08, 4/2/08-4/5/08

The "public turn" in composition has refocused our attention on claims
about the role literacy education plays in forming citizens and
communities. This panel seeks to unearth the complicated assumptions about
the teacher-student relationship and the power of particular pedagogies
embedded in literacy pedagogies that seeks to transform students and the
world. This panel seeks to intervene in contemporary discussions about the
purpose, value, and efficacy of transformative literacy pedagogies by
looking at historical moments when literacy education is positioned as
powerfully transformative.

Institutional grant funding has been secured to custom publish an anthology
of new essays dealing with the depiction of religious faith or spirituality
in world cinema. The editors seek proposals for critically informed,
previously unpublished essays that explore the representation of faith and
spirituality in canonical works of film. Although all proposals are
welcome, essays dealing with one or more of the following directors are
especially solicited:
