Subject: CFP: Rhetoric and Composition: Michigan Academy (11/7/05; MASAL,
3/3/06-3/4/06)


The Rhetoric and Composition Section invites you--and all interested faculty
and students--to present recent scholarly work at the 2006 meeting of the
Michigan Academy of Science, Arts, & Letters (MASAL).  Both individual paper
and panel presentations are welcome.   Topics may include, but are not
limited to

 




*       assessment

*       technology

*       basic writing

*       service learning

*       honors writing

*       literacy

*       gender and composition

*       critical pedagogy

*       responding to writing

*       history of rhetoric

*       postmodernism

*       composition and the university

*       composition and rhetoric as a profession




 

The conference will be held March 3-4 at Oakland University in Rochester.
The call for papers, individual membership requirements and forms, and
contact information for all discipline section leaders, can be found at the
MASAL website: http://www.alma.edu/michiganacademy.  The General Call for
Papers, Abstract Instruction Form, and Abstract Submission Form can be found
at http://www.alma.edu/michiganacademy/section_leaders.   The completed
Abstract Submission Form (including the 200-word abstract) should be
submitted via e-mail to wknox at nmu.edu no later than November 7, 2005.

 

I encourage you to consider this forum for your scholarly papers regardless
of your area of rhetoric and composition specialization.  Each year faculty
and graduate students from twenty-seven member institutions (and many from
outside of the state) present 10- to 15-minute papers (as well as panels and
symposia) to discipline-specific and cross-disciplinary audiences.  Papers
may also be considered for publication in the Michigan Academician. 

 

Faculty and students alike find that MASAL presents a supportive yet
critical alternative venue to discipline-specific conferences for their
research presentations.   

 

Membership in the Michigan Academy, although required for presentation,
enables you to receive a substantial discount on the conference fee as well
as new issues of the Michigan Academician.

 

If you have questions, please contact me.  I look forward to receiving your
proposal abstracts!

 

Thank you.
