Writing Centers and Disability

and Disability. This collection will investigate the vital, but often
ignored intersection of Writing Center Studies and Disability Studies.

Contributions will ultimately fall into three general categories:

* Research on tutoring writers with disabilities,

* Research and narratives of experience of making the writing center
space accessible, and

"The Machine and the Modern Subject"

Conference: The Northeast Modern Language Association (NEMLA) 2006 Conference
Deadline for submitting proposal: 9/15/05

Submissions are invited for a session on Censorship and Academic Freedom
at the 2006 NEMLA conference in Philadelphia, PA., March 02 - March 05,
2006.

>From the Ward Churchill controversy to the Patriot Act and the Academic
Bill of Rights, college campuses and classrooms have increasingly become
the focus of the censorship debate. This panel will examine the various
ways in which that debate is being played out and explore faculty
responses to the issues, both within and beyond their classes. Are
there certain subjects that should be avoided or ignored or should
colleges entertain even the most offensive possibilities in the name of
free speech?
