  • My Experience with Education in Canada and Federal Prisons Rod Carter
    My Experience with Education in Canada and Federal Prisons Rod Carter quit high school the first time in May 1964 just before the end of my I second go at Grade 10. I left again in November 1964 on the heels of a two week suspension for fighting at a school dance. During my years in public school, the teachers’ generally commented that I “could do better given my ability”. In high school, the remarks became more psychological as I became more rebellious. My file was littered with statements such as “there has been a change in his attitude”, “he avoids expression of his inner feelings” and “has a hostile attitude toward the adult world”. They were not seeing it wrong! I entered prison in October 1967 hauling a three and a half year sentence. My two uncles and two cousins, who were all Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers, had me destined for a life of crime. I spent reception at the Big House – Kingston Penitentiary – and transferred to Collins Bay Penitentiary a few months later to complete my sentence. Early in my sentence, I recognized a thirst for education, both formal and informal. Kierkegaard (2004, p. 124) said, “Freedom is man’s capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mould ourselves, the basic step in achieving inward freedom is ‘choosing one’s self’”. I served cell time reading, working on correspondence courses, listening to one of three radio channels and strumming guitar. During the day, I joined seven other students in the one-classroom school where I worked on my correspondence courses, which included English literature, composition and mathematics.

  • Visions of the Future
    WALTER GORDON SYMPOSIUM 2019 Canada 2050: Visions of the Future Presented with the generous support of WALTER GORDON SYMPOSIUM 2019 #wgs2019 Canada 2050: Visions of the Future Acknowledgement of Traditional Lands We would like to acknowledge this sacred land upon which the University of Toronto operates. It has been a site of human activity for over 15,000 years. In this time, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Tkaronto–the place in the water where the trees are standing–is in the Dish-With-One-Spoon territory. The Dish-With-One-Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee that binds them to share and protect the land. As with other traditional agreements between the First Peoples of this area, the treaty is marked with a wampum belt. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers, have been invited into this treaty alongside the original stewards of this land in the spirit of peace, friendship, and respect. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and play in this community. 1 WALTER GORDON SYMPOSIUM 2019 #wgs2019 Canada 2050: Visions of the Future A Note from the Organizing Committee We would like to thank you for your interest in the 2019 Walter Gordon Symposium. We hope you are as excited as we are to hear from the amazing journalists, academics, and thought leaders here today who have graciously agreed to share their knowledge and ideas on a number of important topics related to this year’s theme: Canada 2050: Visions of the Future.

  • 2014 AWP Conference Schedule
    2014 AWP Conference Schedule Thursday, February 27, 2014 9:00 am to 10:15 am R109. Disrupting Class: Changing Pedagogical Landscapes in the Writing Classroom Room 2A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 2 ( Kate Guthrie Caruso, Andrea Spofford, Cole Cohen, Johnny Jones, Kristin Cerda) This panel focuses on the ways teachers can challenge and disrupt pedagogical landscapes. By employing a variety of mediums including social media, video games, and boundary-crossing genres like prose poetry and graphic novels, we create a hybrid approach to teaching writing that distills and translates the classroom experience into out-of-classroom reality. Featuring five teachers of writing (creative, performance, composition, and community), this panel presents resources for disrupting class. R111. It's Funny Because It's True Room 3A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 3 (Brangien Davis, Nicole Hardy, Suzanne Morrison, Lauren Weedman, Claire Dederer) Mark Twain said humor is the great thing, the saving thing. In memoir as in life, it makes our tragedies bearable, shareable, and unifying. The well-timed joke saves the first person singular from its inevitable inward turn, exorcises the overly-earnest, and compels readers to let down their defenses just enough to feel the full force of a punch. This panel takes on yoga, sex, faith, and the perils of youth with an eye to the art of crafting humorous scenes. R126. What Was Is: The Use of Present Tense in Creative Nonfiction Room 202, Western New England MFA Annex, Level 2 (Kate Hopper, Hope Edelman, Bonnie Rough, Marybeth Holleman, Ryan Van Meter) This panel of memoirists and essayists will consider what happens when we write about past events in the present tense.

Davidson takes readers on a trip through art, film, and photography to explore an urban space that is at once familiar and enigmatic: the hotel. As shared sites for both tourists and asylum seekers alike, hotels are touchstones of our multinational landscape. Drawing on examples from Edward Hopper to Alfred Hitchcock, The Hotel: Occupied Space chronicles how the hotel has entrenched itself into our symbolic and physical landscape throughout history. “In the current climate in which “Using a wide variety of representations, “Well written, accessible, and engaging, discussions of toxic masculinity from literature, to autobiography, to lm April in Paris brings together interesting have become more frequent and and non- ction critiques, this book tells and surprising threads in order to urgent, Brad Congdon’s book is the story of the adman, and addresses illuminate modernist culture and its relevant and timely.” the ambivalence that practitioners and in uence on the rest of the twentieth critics have about capitalism.” century.” –Maggie McKinley Harper College –Kathy M.
