Professionalizing Multimodal Composition: Faculty and Institutional Initiatives
Call for Papers
Higher education faculty are doing their best to improve the quality of education offered to students. However, the results have not been up to the expectations of all the stakeholders. Successful education has long lasting effects on the learners that predispose them to deal with everyday and future challenges. Therefore, considerable efforts need to be invested in discovering and elaborating new effective teaching practices, assessment, learning strategies, learner empowerment, etc. Within this framework, this conference high-lights the presentation of new advances, trends and research results in the field of quality higher education.
The traditional apprenticeship model is a well-documented paradigm for engaging undergraduates in research. In recent years, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have become more common. Many factors influence a mentor’s ability to use these models, and sometimes alternative paths are needed to engage in undergraduate research. The winter 2020 issue of Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research (SPUR) will explore these nontraditional approaches to undergraduate research.
Topics of interest include the following:

Pedagogies of/and Performance-as-Research
Special themed issue with guest editor Emily Rollie
In its initial issues, PARtake has explored key topics related to the dynamic field of Performance-as-Research, including the modes of performing research, the ethics of participating in research, activism in PAR, and the rich intersections of embodiment and somatic intelligence in PAR. This issue continues in that trend, specifically examining the relationship between PAR and pedagogy – the ways pedagogy intersects with, is influenced by, and is utilized in PAR.

CFP for NJCEA Annual Conference on March 21, 2020 at Seton Hall University
Joyce Carol Oates famously asked, "Where are you Going? Where have you Been?" As the English profession continues to evolve, our conference will explore these questions.
We are particularly interested in proposals for full traditional panels including at least four presenters, roundtables of six to eight speakers, workshops, individual papers, posters, and presentations that consider these questions for the profession, for the discipline, for our areas of specialization, and for the larger society. What is our role as scholars, researchers, teachers and community members during a time of worldwide transition?
Keynote Speaker:

Disability has functioned historically to justify inequality for disabled people themselves, but it has also done so for women and [other] minority groups. That is, not only has it been considered justifiable to treat disabled people unequally, but the concept of disability has been used to justify discrimination against other groups by attributing disability to them.
- Douglas C. Baynton, Disability and the Justification of Inequality in American History
Abstract:
This conference aims at joining together researchers and teachers from different fields of language education and linguistics that address topics related to foreign language learning.

Discussions could tie in to medieval disability studies in a number of ways, including:

- medieval social anxiety (e.g., Merlin and social exile in Monmouth, de Boron, et al.)
Out of the Classroom and into the Wild: Ecopedagogies for the Anthropocene
We boast of our system of education, but why stop at schoolmasters and schoolhouses? We are all schoolmasters, and our schoolhouse is the universe. To attend chiefly to the desk or schoolhouse while we neglect the scenery in which it is placed is absurd. If we do not look out we shall find our schoolhouse standing in a cow-yard at last. ---Henry David Thoreau, “Huckleberries”
