The Bachelor’s Degree: Teaching with Reality TV in the Feminist Classroom

CALL FOR PAPERS
Queering Professional and Technical Communication: Intersectional Approaches to Theory and Practice
Editor: Trent M. Kays, PhD
Workshop at the Renaissaince Society of America's annual meeting (Philadelphia. March 11-13, 2027)
Often, when thinking of academia, the ideas of books, writing, and theory are what make up the idea of the scholar. Many scholars who speak about activism, liberation, mutual aid, living in a collective community, and many other topics of concern for the JOAA team, do not always live the practice they write. This year, we are hoping to disrupt this focus on the blueprints of freedom and look into the way folks are working in the world to build, support, create, and live praxis in their lives.

Embodying the WPA: Advice Narratives for Writing Program Administration
Edited by Jackie Hoermann-Elliott, Juliette Holder, Jennifer Judd, & Danielle Littlefield Brady
Even among the quietest of us, there are stories to be told. Stories of how we dressed for the campus visit, whether or not we drank wine with the search committee at dinner. Stories from the first year as the WPA, remembering how we physically composed (or contorted) ourselves and our offices for comfort – our own or others’. Stories of how we hugged a bereaved teacher, toasted in celebration, or laughed a little too loud at that one department meeting.
EXTENDED DEADLINE!

Concept Note
If You Rebuild It, They Will Come: Reimagining Higher Ed with Pedagogies of Hope
“Hope is a discipline.” Mariame Kaba We Do This 'Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice. (2021)
“We must dare to imagine and to dream. It is precisely in hopeless times that the act of teaching becomes a radical gesture of hope.” Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Hope (1994)
Tl;dr: Higher education is failing to effectively communicate with the public, including communicating disciplinary knowledge and the value of higher education. We're looking for ways it can do both more effectively.

The Cultures of Philosophy team at the University of Exeter invites proposals for the online workshop Teaching Early Modern Women’s Writing Between Literature and Philosophy: Pedagogy and Practice. The aim of this workshop is to share case studies and best practice regarding the teaching of early modern women’s philosophical writing in HE, across languages, disciplines and national settings. We intend to bring together teachers and researchers in HE with members of subject organisations to reflect on what’s working and what could be changed to improve the visibility of and engagement with early modern women’s philosophical writing, broadly conceived.

Conference Theme: Meeting the Moment: Connecting the Past, Present, and Future in English Studies
The CCCC’s 2027 Convention (April 14-17, 2027 in Miwaukee, WI) invites us to “imagine and design” our preferable, potentially even preposterous, writing futures; this panel imagines those futures through place-based education (PBE).
Dear Colleague, We invite you to contribute to a forthcoming edited volume, A Global Companion for Anti-Racist Education and Solidarity Work. This volume brings together educators, researchers, and community practitioners engaged in the everyday work of confronting racism and cultivating more just educational environments. Rather than treating anti-racist education as abstract or purely theoretical, this volume centers practice. We begin from the premise that some of the most generative forms of anti-racist work are already unfolding in classrooms, schools, community organizations, and local movements.
We invite you to submit scholarly or creative work to the 91st Annual Conference of the Indiana College English Association. As a regional affiliate of the College English Association, anyone in our region (Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky) is encouraged to participate.
Whether we teach at an R1 university, liberal arts college, community college, or other institution, our work as scholars depends upon our students. Within the context of generative AI, declining support for the Humanities, and the rapidly changing landscape of higher education, this roundtable places pedagogy at the center by inviting participants to share practical, classroom-tested approaches to teaching the Renaissance at the college level.
