Subject: UPDATE: Critical Thinking, Thinking Critically: Ethics in Writing
(5/1/05; SAMLA, 11/4/05-11/6/05)


The deadline for proposals to this session has been extended to May 1st. The
South Atlantic Modern Language Association convention will be held at the
Sheraton Colony Square Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia from November 4-6, 2005.
The call for this panel is as follows:

The teaching of collegiate writing traditionally has required incorporating
some lessons on the ethics of conducting academic work. Yet increasingly,
the college writing classroom has become a focal point for universities'
administration and surveillance of the ethical tenor of student communities.
>From emphasizing the interdisciplinary and professional benefits of critical
writing to wielding various technologies that police plagiarism and academic
misconduct, inculcating institutional ethics has become a significant part
of our jobs as teachers of language and writing. This panel welcomes papers
addressing the correspondences, complications, benefits, and distractions of
teaching student writing under pressure to monitor student ethics. To what
extent does teaching academic writing lend itself to teaching academic
ethics? What measures have teachers taken to mediate curricular demands, or
day-to-day classroom demands, with growing concerns about the prevalence of
academic misconduct? What kinds of assignments have teachers designed that
combine writing skills with ethical lessons, and how successful have they
been? And, how, if at all, has this changed the ethos of our profession?
Please send abstracts of fewer than 500 words to Thomas Lilly, the Georgia
Institute of Technology, at thomas.lilly at lcc.gatech.edu.

Proposals can also be mailed to:
