WAC Outreach and Partnerships
How do WPAs of WAC programs reach out to different constituencies at
community colleges, SLACs, universities, and other institutions? If your
WAC program calls for refreshing, how do you rekindle faculty, student,
and/or administrative involvement?

Presentations exploring outreach, curricular development, emphases on WAC
as local, and connections or partnerships forged between WAC and other
campus programs especially welcome.

As popular culture establishes itself as a new collective mythos, it also continues to gain validity as
a field of study. Popular culture often inserts itself into the classroom, generating conversations,
serving as ways for students and teachers to connect and convey concepts, and fueling areas of
media literacy and the "new literacies" by providing common material for students and teachers to
analyze, critique, and create.

Reading the Rift: An Edited Collection of Essays on BBC TV's Science
Fiction Series TORCHWOOD

Torchwood is a UK ratings buster, an award-winning science fiction series
shot on High Definition and filmed in and around Cardiff by BBC Wales.
Beginning life as a spinoff from Doctor Who, it has now grown into a
programme that stands on its own with a unique blend of science fiction,
humour, romance, and adult themes, and has dedicated fan followings growing
across the globe. Such a distinctive and original blend of elements sets it
apart from competitors and calls for scholarly discussion and analysis.
