 "Classroom Taboos: A Practical Exploration." This panel intends to
explore the use of controversial material in the classroom. The nature
of the university experience presents a distinctive set of challenges,
including the appropriate integration of taboo language and concepts
into the educational process. Students and teachers, alike, may find
certain language inflammatory, but is it possible to respect cultural
differences while retaining an atmosphere of free intellectual
discourse in English studies? Adding further complexity to this issue
are the instructor's internal ethical concerns, pressures to conform
to proscribed institutional policies, and rapidly shifting standards

The East Carolina Humor Festival & Conference
November 1 - 3, 2007 - Greenville, NC
 
Humor as an art form rarely attracts the serious attention it deserves. East
Carolina University intends to correct this omission with an inaugural humor
festival and academic conference. In addition to offering an academic
conference in which scholars explore humor in literature, dance, film,
theater, therapy, and art, the three-day inaugural event will feature joke
contests and stand-up and improv comedy, and a film festival.
 
Featured presenters include North Carolina native and author Jill McCorkle,
Texas songwriter and author Kinky Friedman, and poet and NPR commentator
Andrei Codrescu.
