Transforming Pedagogy with Popular Culture We are organizing a panel (or panels) on the topic of "Transforming Pedagogy with Popular Culture" for the 53rd Annual CEA Conference in Atlanta, GA, from March 21-23. We are looking for papers that discuss how popular culture can be used to teach important concepts or skill sets in a way that engages students in the learning process. Some potential topics include, but are not limited to, critical thinking skills, empathy, composition styles, and rhetorical analysis. There is a possibility that panel presenters may be asked if they want to participate in an edited essay collection on this topic. Please note that presenters must be members of CEA to present at the conference. Please send abstracts (or abstract ideas) of less than 500 words to both Josef Vice (jvice@purdueglobal.edu) and Laura Getty (laura.getty@ung.edu). Finalized Panelist abstracts are due to CEA online by November 1, so we would need to see the abstracts by October 20 to give us time to organize the panels and submission process.
