Celebrating Student Writing in Writing Programs

Sunday, March 30, 2025

Recently I, Tawnya Azar (co-editor), posted a request for information on the Writing Studies listserv to solicit information and ideas about hosting a celebration of student writing event in my composition program. After a long search for published research or essays on student writing events, I was finding very little and hoped I would at least get a few additional recommendations for published works on the subject. Instead many faculty and program heads contacted me with generous, detailed descriptions of student writing events they previously ran or currently run, and I was struck by the diversity and potential impact of these events on campus communities.

CFP: Essay Collection on Sports Films

Despite its status as one of cinema’s most enduring and popular genres, complete with a rich history of narrative tropes, aesthetic conventions and character types, the sports film is more frequently analysed as a vehicle for the on-screen representation of sport than a distinct film genre. The representation of sport may be an identifying feature of the sports film, but in the way that horses are an identifying feature of westerns: a key part, to be sure, but film criticism would be much poorer if it elided the complexity of John Wayne’s performance in The Searchers to focus on the horse he rode. We seek abstracts for an edited collection reflecting the depth and breadth of the sports film as genre.

Creative Critical Practices: Writing, Reading and Making Theory

Friday, January 10, 2025 - 7:32am
Creative Critical Practices Symposium
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, February 3, 2025

Blurring the lines between art and scholarship, creative-critical practices combine imaginative production with theoretical analysis and reflection. The creative process itself becomes a method of research, discovery and meaning-making, extending and transforming critical theories. By inhabiting a space between established genres and methodologies, creative-critical practitioners generate hybrid works that provoke new ways of seeing, understanding and engaging with the world.

ICSSR-Sponsored National Seminar on "Craft Culture of Odisha: Handicraft Heritage through Oral History"

The crafts of India are varied and illustrate the economy, history, culture, religious beliefs, politics, material culture, societal formations and creative faculties of a civilization. The craftsmanship of many states of India reflects diverse cultural influences and has a significant narrative relating to its origins. For ages, crafts have served as an archive of culture and heritage in various communities in India. Every state of India narrates its tales of handicrafts. The wonderful artistry of handcrafted artifacts, the traditions woven in time, get eroded by automation and accuracy, which draw us towards the ‘sophistication’ of repetitive mass production in a capitalist society.
