The rules of this game are actually up to you. This is not a world made up of passive consum- ers anymore. That era is over. This world is made up of collaborators. We can create and share. We can change laws and act. Brett Gaylor, RiP! A Remix Manifesto Welcome and thank you for joining us here in Louisville for the 61st Annual Conference on College Gwendolyn Pough Composition and Communication! The success of this Syracuse University conference actually is up to all of you. Your energy, pas- New York, NY sion and knowledge must be included as we collaborate, create, share and think about the change we’d like to make happen. Anyone who knows anything about writing teachers knows that we are far from “passive consumers.” After decades of innovative teaching and cutting-edge scholarship, the 2010 conference is a space for us to revisit, rethink, revise and renew our vision for the future of the fi eld. Marilyn Valentino’s chair’s address, “Rethinking the 4th C: Call to Action,” will jump-start our thinking and get us all moving in the right direction. Then, with over 600 panels to choose from, we’ll revisit the topics we have always dealt with such as writing theories/pedagogies and rhetorical theories/histories. But we’ll also give these topics a remix that will have us—as the creative panel titles suggest—rethink- ing prose style, remixing our roots, re-imagining fi rst year composition, reclaiming the rural, recovering critical pedagogy and realizing the potential of writing studies. From mashups to CLUSTERF*%#!s and all the wikis, fl ashbacks, multimodalities, and mapping in between, the presentations for this year’s conference will push our discussions further. They might even tell us if Aristotle is in the DJ booth or on twitter. It couldn’t be a remix without getting into the nuts and bolts of how change really happens in our organization. “Remix: Committee Confl uence and the Future of the CCCC,” is a special session devoted to the important work that goes on behind the scenes. The chairs from the various special committees will come together for dialogue aimed at sparking a collaboration that encourages crosstalk and pushes us past our special interests and niches.

  • The Cea Forum 2019
    Winter/Spring THE CEA FORUM 2019 Exploring Instructor Perceptions of and Practices for Public Discourse in First-Year Writing Courses Jill Parrott, Lucas Green, Courtnie Morin, Jordan Kaiser, Cody Smothers, Sam Rodgers Eastern Kentucky University A long-standing goal of the university in the Western tradition has been to prepare students to enter into a democratic society as informed citizens, but contemporary practices are often aimed at cultivating individuals for specialized careers rather than preparing them for general civil interactions. As James Berlin reminds us in Rhetoric and Reality, the classical rhetors Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, and Augustine placed rhetoric at the center of learning and emphasized its fundamental role in maintaining democratic ideals (2). Though the modern academy appears to stray from this principle historical objective, contemporary freshman composition courses (among others) maintain the capacity to do more than “prepare students for the workplace” (Berlin 189). Compositionists often embrace a humanistic perspective, wherein meaning is created in the material practice of writing and the writers themselves and their audiences are impacted throughout the process, giving purpose to the communicative act beyond a purely utilitarian function (Lindemann 3-8). Composing is a cultural act; a text is both influenced by and influences the society in which it is constructed (Farris). The first-year composition classroom offers the unique capacity to function as a mock micro-society in which students may practice participating in civil public discourse in a relatively low-stakes environment, teaching 234 www.cea-web.org Winter/Spring THE CEA FORUM 2019 both writing skills and democratic acts that may then be transferred and applied into the public sphere (Ervin; Friend; Crisco; Selfe).

  • Learning from Paulo Freire and the Politics of Critical Pedagogy
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 8 • Issue 2 • 2011 doi:10.32855/fcapital.201102.004 Rejecting Academic Labor as a Subaltern Class: Learning from Paulo Freire and the Politics of Critical Pedagogy Henry A. Giroux While liberals, progressives, and left-oriented educators have increasingly opposed the right-wing assault on higher education, they have not done enough either theoretically or politically in connecting the issues of academic freedom, the proliferation of non-tenured and part-time faculty, and the state of critical pedagogy in the university. Although concern has been expressed about the shameless exploitation of non-tenured and part-time faculty in the United States (actually, an under-the-radar parallel alternative to the traditional tenure system), such concerns have not been linked to a full-spirited critique of the anti-democratic forces now affecting higher education through the relentless expansion of a growing managerialism and a neoliberal approach to university governance.[1] The current labor crisis facing higher education shoul be addressed as part of a much broader assault on society by corporations, the military, right-wing foundations, and conservative religious groups. Higher education is a dangerous site because it offers the potential both for fostering critical thought and for shaping oppositional subject positions, identities, and social relations that could challenge the current neoliberal regime of ideology, politics, and economics. At the same time, it offers a space and modes of pedagogy that often unsettle many of the dominant orthodoxies and fundamentalisms that now dominate American culture. I believe that one way to challenge this military-industrial-academic complex is to make the question of pedagogy central to a reformulated politics that reclaims the university as a democratic public sphere.

    Beyond Lurking and Trolling: Examination of College Student Literacy Practices in Online Asynchronous Discussion Spaces Agnieszka Markiewicz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2018 © 2018 Agnieszka Markiewicz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Beyond Lurking and Trolling: Examination of College Student Literacy Practices in Online Asynchronous Discussion Spaces Agnieszka Markiewicz Over the course of the past 15 years, college student populations as well as information technologies have undergone dramatic changes. Today’s college populations are more diverse as women, minorities, non-traditional students and veterans are the fastest growing populations. Additionally, the number of people enrolled in colleges has gone from 4.9 million in 2000 to 20.2 million in 2017. Simultaneously, the growth and proliferation of information technologies have changed the ways information is consumed and social relationships formed. The Internet, and discursive spaces that are specific to it, allow people to learn at their own pace, connect across national borders, and experiment with identities. This dissertation worked towards understanding how various college populations interact with online spaces, particularly asynchronous online spaces such as Reddit, Quora, Amazon product reviews, and various other spaces. The qualitative data collected for the dissertation included a survey of 84 participants and interviews with 12 participants. The data were analyzed using a theoretical framework based on Socio- Cultural Theories of Literacies, Critical Media Studies, and Postcolonial Theory. Findings and implications of this dissertation show a need for increased involvement in critical media literacies education of college students, and a need for educators to build culturally responsive, civic-based, and globally minded curricula rooted in student information technology usage.

In addition, the analysis of cybernetworks used by disadvantaged, college bound immigrant students in the United States furthers our understanding of the equalization of opportunity and/or replication of the social divide found with more traditional social networks. The research methods consisted of archival data analysis with chat room transcripts; six on-line focus groups of 21 first year students from The City University of New York (CUNY); and one on-line survey distributed to 9,240 CUNY first year students.
