CFP: Judicial Rhetoric: A Symposium

April 5, 2024

University of Virginia School of Law

In collaboration with Case Western Reserve University

Judicial writing is a genre in flux. While court opinions remain both potent and controversial, many judges explicitly write for lay audiences or to entertain specialists. The resulting documents are quoted by the press, invoked at confirmation hearings, and memed in social media. Judges have been praised or blamed for cracking jokes, sharing hoary vignettes, and reciting song lyrics. Commentators might be forgiven for missing an older approach to judicial writing, one marked by a more technical, even tedious style.

Call for Proposals:  

Many universities, departments, programs and/or faculty have developed their own policies about the use of AI in the classroom. Some advocate for banishing it completely, while others advocate for embracing it completely. Still others are not quite sure what it can do and whether they should embrace it or not. If banishing AI from the writing classroom, how is that monitored? If embracing AI in the writing classroom – what does that look like? Your research on this topic is valuable to all of us. 

TEXT Journal of Writing and Writing Courses welcomes submission of research articles on creative and professional writing and processes, the teaching of writing and related issues. TEXT also welcomes the submission of creative work, book reviews, and scholarly interviews providing that the matter of the creative work concerns exploration of creativity, or the nature and processes of creative writing, or the nature and processes of the teaching of writing, or investigation of creative practice research in a creative writing context. Our southern winter reading period is open 1 May to 31 July 2023. TEXT occasionally publishes specific-topic collections or longer works in its Special Issue Series.

Accepting abstract submissions for a roundtable session, as part of the lineup for the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) conference, Oct. 26-29, in Portland, OR.

Call for Papers

Conversations about artificial intelligence and writing—largely involving ChatGPT—range from excitement to existential dread. Writing about AI has been eclipsed by worrying about writing with AI. Is AI a tool or a threat? A friend or foe? Can AI transcend either/or? What should universities do now that AI has arrived? What about instructors and students? How will AI change classrooms? What policies must be created? What changes will be arriving in education, news, politics, or industry? What will we find at the intersection of AI and writing?  

The Technical Rhetoric Symposium is pleased to announce its second annual conference, to be held virtually on June 3, 2023.

We invite researchers and practitioners in all fields to submit papers for presentation at the conference. Graduate students and early-career scholars are especially encouraged to apply!

The theme of this year's symposium is "Effective Communication in the Digital Age." We are particularly interested in presentations that explore the challenges and opportunities of communicating technical information in the digital world, and that offer practical solutions for addressing these challenges. Some topics of interest include:

Dear Colleagues,

The individual body performatively constitutes its gender, experiences desire for other (individual) bodies, undergoes significant changes, and functions as the battlefield for a range of social and political struggles. However, the collective body in groups provides an equally productive basis for the analysis and interpretation of gendered and sexual processes. The human body is never neutral, and many works of fiction give meaning to a disintegrated, disable, diseased, wounded, damaged, mutilated body through the power of language.
