CFP: Michigan College English Association Conference


Deadline: August 15, 2004
Conference Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan
Conference Date: Friday October 1, 2004

Call for Papers: MCEA 2004

Conference Theme: Considering College English-- Making Choices, Coping with Conflicts, Fostering Leadership

Featured Speakers: Gerald Graff & Cathy Birkenstein-Graff: "Teaching Argument Literacy"

In an election year and during a time of warfare, we teachers need to empower students to think critically so that they can make wise choices, to cope with many different kinds of conflicts inside and outside the classroom, and to take leadership positions in the future. How do works of fiction, poetry, and memoir reflect conflict and tension, discuss
decision-making, and analyze leadership? What conflicts do we face within the classroom and the department and also between the English department and other college departments? How does the collaborative classroom handle choices, conflicts, and leadership? What conflicts and choices do we face with new technology and on-line classes?

The Michigan College English Association seeks proposals for individual papers and for complete or open panels for our Fall 2004 meeting. We look forward to receiving proposals on diverse topics from experienced academics as well as from young scholars and graduate students. We also welcome poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction from creative writers.

Although we are calling for papers and panels that reflect the conference theme, we welcome a variety of proposals in any of the areas English and Writing departments encompass: e.g., composition and rhetoric; computers and writing; creative writing; critical pedagogy; critical studies in the teaching of English; cultural studies; film studies; film and composition; film and literature; developmental education; English as
a second language; linguistics; literary studies; multicultural literature; on-line English courses and the virtual university; popular culture; race, class, and gender studies; progressive education; reading and writing across the curriculum; student demographics; student/instructor accountability and assessment; student placement; study
skills; technical writing.

Early submissions are welcome and appreciated. Please submit proposals to Janet Heller, MCEA Program Chair, via email [email protected]
