It is my hope that our time together will encourage us to see even the most difficult challenges in our current landscape as opportunities for reinvention. The increas- ing tempo of change that influences our work, from con- stant software updates nagging us when we turn on our computers, to continually changing writing and commu- nication practices, and the rise of mobile learning envi- ronments makes this an exciting, if dizzying, time for the Adam Banks work we do. Dramatically shifting structural relations University of Kentucky that influence the functions and funding of higher edu- Lexington, KY cation, our relationships with government and corpora- tions, and even our notions of self and community, make the work we do even more necessary, though also more challenging, in this exciting, dizzying time. As we gather to share scholarship and teaching, food and fellowship, questions and encouragement, let us be inspired by our own disciplinary history of working to democratize higher education, and by Angela Davis’s deep commitment to democratizing our society. This year’s convention features almost 600 sessions, selected after two stages of rigorous peer review of more than 1,600 proposals. Stage I reviews, which took place online, focused on sessions proposed as complete panels. This stage involved nearly 200 reviewers from all over the country, from all types of colleges and univer- sities, and from the entire spectrum of academic appointments. Each proposal was reviewed by three readers. Stage II took place in June at NCTE headquarters with a stellar, diverse, and thoughtful group of colleagues who scored individual proposals and worked very hard to group the accepted submissions into engaging panels. I hope that you will be both encouraged and inspired by this year’s Chair’s Ad- dress by Howard Tinberg, a timely address that will call us to continue to pursue our work as a public good, in the public interest, in a moment where significant portions of the citizenry we hope to serve seems to have lost faith in public education. After our General Session, we move into concurrent sessions, where you will have more than 30 choices of lively, compelling panels in each time slot.

Okies, the dominant narrative goes, failed to organize in the ways that Mexican farm workers did, developed little connection with Mexican or Filipino farm workers, and clung to traditional gender roles that valorized the male breadwinner.

  • History 600: Public Intellectuals in the US Prof. Ratner-Rosenhagen Office
    Hannah Arendt W.E.B. DuBois Noam Chomsky History 600: Public Intellectuals in the U.S. Prof. Ratner-Rosenhagen Lecturer: Ronit Stahl Class Meetings: Office: Mosse Hum. 4112 Office: Mosse Hum. 4112 M 11 a.m.-1 p.m. email: [email protected] email: [email protected] Room: Mosse Hum. 5257 Prof. RR’s Office Hours: R.S.’s Office Hours: T 3- M 9 a.m.-11a.m. 5 p.m. This course is designed for students interested in exploring the life of the mind in the twentieth-century United States. Specifically, we will examine the life of particular minds— intellectuals of different political, moral, and social persuasions and sensibilities, who have played prominent roles in American public life over the course of the last century. Despite the common conception of American culture as profoundly anti-intellectual, we will evaluate how professional thinkers and writers have indeed been forces in American society. Our aim is to investigate the contested meaning, role, and place of the intellectual in a democratic, capitalist culture. We will also examine the cultural conditions, academic and governmental institutions, and the media for the dissemination of ideas, which have both fostered and inhibited intellectual production and exchange. Roughly the first third of the semester will be devoted to reading studies in U.S. and comparative intellectual history, the sociology of knowledge, and critical social theory. In addition, students will explore the varieties of public intellectual life by becoming familiarized with a wide array of prominent American philosophers, political and social theorists, scientists, novelists, artists, and activists.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Queeremos a Gloria Anzaldúa: Identity, Difference, New Tribalism, and Affective Eco-Dialogues1
    Camino Real 10: 13. (2018): 47-62 Queeremos a Gloria Anzaldúa: Identity, Difference, New Tribalism, and Affective Eco-Dialogues1 CaroliNa NúñEz-PuENtE Abstract This article starts by conceptualizing Anzaldúa’s (and other thinkers’) approaches to poetry, queerness, identity, and difference fromBorderlands (1987) to later works. Part two examines her thoughts on new tribalism, most of which appeared in Interviews/Entrevistas (2000), This Bridge We Call Home (2002), The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader (2009), and Light in the Dark (2015). Both sections also describe the possible dialogues between her poetry and prose. Part three takes dialogical connections further, by putting Anzaldúa into an affective eco-dialogue (my term) with contemporary feminists. The article’s thesis is that Anzaldúa’s queer way of feeling-thinking-being marked the style, themes, and goals of her oeuvre; furthermore, given her ability to go beyond binary oppositions by means of articulating difference in an affective, dialogical, and ecofeminist fashion, Anzaldúa must be considered a posthumanist philosopher. Keywords: Affective eco-dialogue, queer approach, ecofeminism Carolina Núñez-Puente is an Associate Professor of English at the University of A Coruña (Spain). She has published on Gloria Anzaldúa, Sandra Cisneros, and Renato Rosaldo, among others. She has also coedited Queering Women’s and Gender Studies (CSP, 2016).

  • “Literary Milk: Breastfeeding Across Race, Class, and Species in Contemporary U.S
    Journal of Ecocriticism 5(1) January 2013 “Literary Milk: Breastfeeding Across Race, Class, and Species in Contemporary U.S. Fiction” Greta Gaard (University of Wisconsin)1 Abstract Although all infant mammals require mothers' milk, very little breastfeeding appears in U.S. literature. Why is this ecological and foundational part of early life so frequently backgrounded or made invisible? and why would this topic be significant for feminist ecocritics? To explore these questions, this essay discusses the few texts in 20th century U.S. literature that depict breastfeeding, pairing them by era--John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath (1939) and Meridel LeSueur's The Girl (1939), followed by Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon (1977) and Beloved (1987)--and concludes with a contemporary novel, Emma Donoghue's Room (2010). All of these texts depict breastfeeding in conditions of captivity and restricted freedoms. Under such conditions, breastfeeding and breastmilk take on added urgency as food, as emotional and psychological nurturance, and often as self-worth for the nursing mother, whose milk seems to be the only material she can control. Narrative texts providing examples of free mothers, from diverse races, classes, and species, able to choose whether, where, and how long to breastfeed their own offspring, do not yet appear in U.S. literature, possibly because the conditions for such cultural and economic freedoms have yet to exist. In Chinese-American author Maxine Hong Kingston’s short story, “No Name Woman” (1975), the narrator-daughter receives the cautionary tale of her paternal aunt’s suicide from her mother, who retells the aunt’s story to warn her daughter about the dangers of sexual excess.
