University of Delaware’s 5th CMCS Conference in Material Culture
April 2-3, 2027
“What’s the Matter with Description? Form, Practice, and Material Culture”
Keynote Speaker
SUSAN STEWART
(Princeton University)
What strategies can paper ephemera teach us in the digital age? This panel invites conversations by writing instructors, educators, poets, and artists exploring the work that happens at/within the margins of writing. Both literally and figuratively, we take an expansive scope to the term “margins,” imagining not only the writing that appears on the space of the printed page, but writing that would normally be scrapped, discarded, remixed, or ephemeralized. This can include digital ephemera, such as “disappearing” messages in Instagram or other communication services. At another angle: margins can also mean the liminality of writing, the furthermost edges of what’s often standard and visible.

We may imagine the act of hospitality benign: to open a door, to welcome another across a threshold, or to make an offer to a guest. Rooted in such acts, however, is an ethics of how we engage with another, whether friend or stranger. Acts of hospitality contain their own contradictions, as to serve as host is to hold power, to set terms, to guard thresholds and entry points. For this year’s SAMLA conference, we invite papers, panels, and creative works that consider the many meanings and complications of hospitality—as practice, metaphor, ethics, affect, and structure.

NeMLA's 58th Annual Convention
March 6-9, 2027, Salve Regina University, Newport, RI
This panel invites proposals exploring how rhetoric and composition scholars and teachers can develop what bell hooks, Paulo Freire, and other educators in the field call critical consciousness, or our ability to recognize and analyze oppressive political, economic, and social forces shaping society and to take action. Critical consciousness provides a foundation for cultivating students’ civic reasoning and civic literacy skills across diverse institutional and disciplinary contexts.
At this moment in higher education—as our students wrestle with digital distractions, a deeply competitive job market, rising loneliness, and the complex role of GenAI in their academic lives—it is worth remembering that “educational relationships are central to student learning, motivation, well-being, and persistence” (Jibilian 4 May 2025; Puckett and Felten 2026).
