“Current Pedagogies for the Humanities”
The 18th Annual EGSA Mardi Gras Conference invites papers for the proposed
panel,
“Current Pedagogies for the Humanities.” We are seeking 15 minute papers
that consider teaching the humanities in our contemporary age. Papers
could explore making use of technology and digital aids in the classroom,
methods of making artistic studies relevant to students outside the
humanities, and intersections between the two. We are interested in both
specific teaching practices and more general teaching theories.

and/or Rhetoric, as each of these terms can be most broadly construed.
We are interested in popular representations of writing, rhetoric, and
instruction in both, as well as the composed or rhetorical nature of
culture as expressed in popular artifacts. Topics include, but are not
limited to:

39th Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) Convention
April 10-13, 2008

Buffalo, New York

Despite the growth of composition studies and pedagogy as fields of interest
in recent decades and the simultaneous development of LGBT studies and queer
theory, these two areas of interest are rarely brought together. Drawing on
George Hillocks idea that theory forms the basis of coherent classroom
practice, this panel hopes to continue the discussion on queer pedagogy by
soliciting papers informed by theory, praxis, critical reflection, and
experience.
