EXTENDED DEADLINE: CFP: Rethinking the Theory Course (9/15/06; NEMLA;
3/1-4/07 in Baltimore)
The Northeast Modern Language Association's 38th annual convention will be
held in Baltimore, Maryland from March 1-4, 2007.
This panel will explore innovative ways to teach critical theory at the
undergraduate level. How can instructors present difficult theory in a way
that is accessible to students? What supplementary texts can instructors use
to complement the theory? What writing assignments can help students
practice applying theory without encouraging them to think formulaically?
