CALL FOR PAPERS Third Annual Virginia State University Conference on
CompositionMay 11-12, 2006Theme: Teaching Writing in a High-Stakes Test
Environment Increasingly, our students write in a high-stakes test
environment. High schools are demanding that students pass writing
assessment tests in order to receive diplomas. The SAT has added a
controversial writing component. At the college level, students may
again face timed writing assessments, either as part of their placement
in first year writing courses or as part of exit requirements. How do
we, as educators, respond to this high-stakes test environment? What
impact do such tests have on our teaching as well as on our students?

Scholars across the disciplines are pleased to announce the formation of The
Levinas Society. Inspired by Lithuanian-born Jewish philosopher and Talmudic
commentator Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995) and contemporary Levinas scholarship,
we propose developing a formal society to coordinate and enhance critical work
and collaboration across the academic disciplines. The goal of this society is
to facilitate a broad and dynamic community of persons working toward effecting
the ethical in political, feminist, religious, critical, literary, pedagogical
and philosophical realms.

Call for papers: "Exappropriating the Human: Tele-technologies,
Postcolonialism, and Their Convergence in Contemporary Globalization,"
seminar at the 2006 ACLA: American Comparative Literature Association
Annual Conference, Princeton University, March 23-26, 2006. The goal of this seminar is to reflect upon the
dehumanizing and uprooting capacity of language through the concept of
"exapropriation," a term coined by Derrida in his later works. The term
exappropriation, when applied to language, expresses the double move of how
language puts the human in place (hands it the qualities that are proper to it, appropriation) and at the same time
