Call for Publication
Collection: Non-Traditional Approaches to Teaching English Studies

This collection addresses a disjunction between the content taught in
English Studies and the theory and practice used to teach this content.
While the canon wars will always rage, non-traditional content based on
race, gender, imperialism, and class has become an expected aspect of the
literatures read and discussed in English classrooms; however while
questions of gender, class, and race have become central aspects of what we
teach, by-and-large how we teach in the English classroom remains firmly
rooted in traditional Western rhetorics and hermeneutics.

This door you might not open and you did

So enter now and see for what slight thing

You are betrayed . . . here is no treasure hid

No cauldron, no clear crystal mirroring

The sought for truth, no heads of women slain

For greed like yours, no writings of distress

But only what you see, look yet again.

CRATE, a new literary journal out of the University of California, Riverside,
seeks critical prose that explores areas of literary hybridity and addresses
nuanced aspects of writings that have challenged the boundaries of genre for
our inaugural issue entitled 'Controlled Burn.'

Submissions may be a paper of fresh critical inquiry on contemporary writing
or a tightly focused review of contemporary writing published within the past
five years. CRATE has an interest in the writing of Southern California,
particularly of the Inland Empire/Riverside County area. Still we welcome all
works from diverse writers and geographies that address out theme, controlled
burn, and/or our focus on hybridity.
