Waiting Time

What are we waiting for? What awaits us? While often dismissed as a period of wastefulness or
lost time, waiting may also intensify experience and become a condition in which to consider
questions of modernity, aesthetic process, politics, erotics and the tempos of everyday life.

CFP: [Rhetoric-Composition] Writing as Exploration and Discovery

updated: 
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 - 3:41am
Vincent Walsh

In this paper I describe a novel form of writing pedagogy that encourages
students to select their own topics for papers based on course readings
and class discussion. The purpose behind this approach is to facilitate a
process by which students are enabled to engage in a personal way with
their writing, in effect, to "own" their own writing process. Too often,
students write for the professor, responding to prompts or assigned
topics, assuming that what they produce has to be "what the professor
wants to hear." In effect, they become alientated from what they write,
trying to conform to a standard of evaluation that is outside themselves.
Since students will be doing a great deal of writing beyond

Christopher Wilkey

Looking for chapter proposals for edited collection. Published as part of
the Hampton Press series on Research and Teaching in Rhetoric and
Composition, this edited collection works to theorize and demonstrate how
encounters with writing in the composition classroom and beyond can
intersect productively with activist rhetorical strategies and goals. By
doing so, readers will gain insights into connecting the work of
composition with grassroots social change, using rhetoric that makes
marginalized and disenfranchised voices be taken seriously in the public
arena, finding ways to actualize action as compositionists in their
communities and institutions, and linking service-learning and multimedia

coloniality, postcoloniality and other liminal or ephemeral textual and
identity positions within the increasingly globalized experience of our
present moment.
