Etter-Lewis’s individual research showed how African American oral nar- ratives shared a common framework, albeit multi- dimensional and non-formulaic, where familial kin relationships are used to elaborate historical consciousness. That historical consciousness simulta- neously incorporates “related and unrelated kin” and Jody Ludlow dynamically informs political and discursive imagi- nations for present and future struggles. This panel attempts to mobilize the impact and still “untapped” power of very specifi c strands of “unrelated kin” in rhetoric-composition studies: 1) the interpretive framework of critical race theory to map the ways exclusionary, racialized policing of college admis- sions affects whose and what literacies represent college/classrooms; 2) black women’s discursive struggles against the property function of whiteness Carmen Kynard as a reading of the fi eld’s investment in whiteness; and 3) new ideological lenses on the multiple literacies undergirding the activism of the Civil Rights Move- ment in order to fi nally see those literacies as endemic to social action. We see these three spaces relegated as a kind of “unrelated kin” to more widely circulated understandings of rhetoric-composition studies. Thus, we collectively intend to relate work in our fi eld to racist politics of literacy maneuvered via college ad- missions, the maintenance of whiteness via literacy in the classroom, and the still necessary recovery David Holmes and reminder-y work of the critical literacies serving African American activism as revolutionary, “tapping potential” (Brooks) for CCCC CONVENTION, ATLANTA 2011 153 InteriorPages_100283.indd 153 2/18/2011 2:35:48 PM Friday, 8:00–9:15 a.m. curriculum and instruction. We position the stories that we tell toward new disciplinary kin-relations and, thus, new consciousness of our fi eld’s history and the discursive building of our present and future.

How the Dakota Initiative Functions as a Boundary Object in English Studies Marquis Ballroom, Salon C, Marquis Level In the Modern Languages Association’s “Statement on Indigenous Languages of the World in the College and University Curriculum,” they recommend that “institutions should, whenever possible, support the study of and research in Indigenous languages and literatures worldwide and devise means for native speakers of Indigenous languages to fulfi ll foreign language requirements with their Indigenous languages.” Faculty in composition/rhetoric, literature, and English Education at our institution are concerned about the survival of Native American languages, so we worked collaboratively to hire a Dakota professor of practice in 2009 to teach the language—a fi rst for our institution. Several members of the English Department have found that the Dakota Studies initia- 154 InteriorPages_100283.indd 154 2/18/2011 2:35:49 PM Friday, 8:00–9:15 a.m. tive may function as a boundary object for the depart- ment. Originally developed to describe how scientists negotiate tension between different perspectives, Star and Griesemer defi ne the concept thus: “Boundary objects are both adaptable to different viewpoints and robust enough to maintain identity across them.” Clifford Canku will explain the scholarly work of translating Dakota letters into English and teaching his native language of Dakota at the University. Kelly Clifford Canku Sassi refl ects on how the addition of a Dakota speaker has changed the way she works with English Educa- tion majors in designing their fi eld experiences and co-mentoring a capstone project on the teaching of Native American literatures. Kim Sjurseth discusses how contributions of the Dakota professor inform her analysis of rhetorical action of humor in the work of Thomas King and Sherman Alexie.
