Deadline extended to 11/30/06:
We are seeking contributions for a collection of essays (to present for
publication in 2007) which will address the status of the workshop model in
creative writing and composition. The workshop model has been around for a
long time. Has it become static or is it alive and well in our writing
classes? What's working and what's not? What is its aim, purpose, and
future? How do teachers keep workshops fresh and productive? What innovative
techniques are used in conjunction with the workshop model?
Contributors should send completed essays to Dianne Donnelly-Smith at
djsmith_at_mail.usf.edu.
Deadline for submission is now 11/30/06.

Artful Strategies/Necessary Risks: The Shifting Borders between Success and
Failure
April 20th and 21st on the campus of California State University, Sacramento
Definitions of failure and success are not bound by timeless, objective
criteria but ultimately lie in the eyes of the observer answering to ever
changing parameters of time and culture. Thus what accounts for success in
one context may well be construed as failure in other contexts, by other
observers, or by succeeding generations. The conference aims to lend a forum
to ideas that examine the shifting borders between success and failure in
literature, the arts, history, anthropology, sociology, law, politics,
religion and related fields.
