  • 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.

  • “Wrong Problem, Wrong Solutions”: Sexual Violence, Neoliberal Universities, and the Affects of Institutional Betrayal By
    “Wrong Problem, Wrong Solutions”: Sexual Violence, Neoliberal Universities, and the Affects of Institutional Betrayal by Paige Gorsak A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender and Social Justice Studies Department of Women’s and Gender Studies University of Alberta © Paige Gorsak, 2019 !ii Abstract This thesis explores the affective and political currents of campus rape culture. Paying particular attention to neoliberalism’s transformation of Canadian higher education in recent decades, the author describes a “marketized” campus environment in which school reputation is frequently prioritized above student well-being, as disclosures of sexual violence impact university’s standing and enrolment. The author additionally describes how neoliberal discourses of risk and responsibility serve to download the responsibility for social harms from institutions to individuals. Thus, in the case of campus sexual assault, students bear the burden of preventing and managing the aftermath of violence, in a setting where their disclosures may be denied or ignored. Drawing on the lived experiences of student victims/ survivors who sought support from their universities, the project examines how institutional betrayal comes to bear on their lives and bodies. Institutional betrayal refers to the harm a trusted institution causes to the student, over and above their initial experiences of violence. This project’s participants describe campus cultures in which sexual violence was normalized or

  • Stories from Canadian Campuses Over the Last Few Months
    STORIES FROM CANADIAN CAMPUSES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS Western University: In early October, photographs of four students clad in Western purple and posing in front of a banner reading “Western Lives Matter” were posted to the internet. Administrators at the university launched an investigation to determine whether the students involved had violated the Student Code of Conduct. “‘Black Lives Matter’ is an important human rights movement and a powerful response to systemic racism that permeates our society,” Jana Luker, Western’s vice-president for student experience, wrote. “Co-opting the ‘Lives Matter’ phrase in this way is repugnant and trivializes the validity of this international cause and network.” Western’s code includes the sentence: “Nothing in this Code shall be construed to prohibit peaceful assemblies and demonstrations, lawful picketing, or to inhibit free speech as guaranteed by law.” The investigation concluded that no student violated the code. “It did not rise to the threshold as a code violation under our student code,” Ms Luker explained. Sources: http://www.safs.ca/issuescases/westernlivesmatter/ University of Lethbridge: Also in early October, professor Anthony Hall was suspended without pay by Lethbridge president Mike Mahon because of concerns that Dr Hall might have contravened the hate-speech provisions of Section 3 of the Alberta Human Rights Act. Dr Hall is an outspoken critic of Israel, and some people say that his internet postings have been anti-Semitic. Nothing in President Mahon’s public statements faults Dr Hall’s research, teaching, or behaviour toward colleagues or students. The suspension is entirely for extra- mural speech.

  • Feminist Lynchings by Philip Carl Salzman
    (EF42) AUGUST 2018 Feminist Lynchings By Philip Carl Salzman It has become an almost daily experience in Canada and the United States for a man to be accused of sexual misconduct by a woman, often anonymous, and for an almost immediate pile-on of haters among friends (soon to be ex-friends), colleagues, acquaintances, and perfect strangers, including officials of the man’s place of employment, in person, by letter, by poster, on social media, adding every accusation the mind can imagine, including the vilest. A man accused of having a sexual relationship with a forbidden partner, a colleague or subordinate, is quickly denounced as a harasser, a violent attacker, and a rapist. Feminists have done a brilliant job in their war against men: a glance or polite invitation by a man is now defined as “sexual assault” and equated with violent rape. Unsubstantiated accusations are treated as proven guilt. Due process is dismissed as male supremacy. Every accusation results in automatic mob hysteria, from even the most allegedly reputable and responsible sources. Feminists champion women by attacking men as both a category and as individuals. Destroying the reputation of men and masculinity appears to feminists to be a direct line to their goal of female supremacy. Criteria of truth and justice are deemed by feminists as outmoded tools of male oppression. Feminists continue to cry victimhood while taking control in many spheres of life, notably in universities and schools, where they are able to indoctrinate future generations. Young women are taught that they live in a “rape culture”1, that they should fear all men, who without exception are violent oppressors of women.2 Thus female fear becomes feminist hate.

  • Steven Galloway Wins $167,000 Decision Against UBC Over Harm to His Reputation
    Steven Galloway wins $167,000 decision against UBC over harm to his reputation ‘It was a painful, wrenching shock’: The award-winning author speaks about being shunned by colleagues and fired by the university even though accusations of sexual assault against him were not substantiated by Kerry Gold Jun 8, 2018 Bestselling author Steven Galloway has won arbitration damages from the University of B.C. over statements that violated his privacy and harmed his reputation—the latest development in the writer’s two-and-a-half-year battle to clear his name on accusations of sexual assault and harassment. Galloway was fired as chair of the university’s creative writing program after the allegations—and the intensely negative public backlash that followed, mostly on social media. In a judgment released on Friday, arbitrator John Hall awarded the writer $167,000, which at least one expert describes as a significantly high amount. Hall found that “certain communications by the university contravened Mr. Galloway’s privacy rights and caused harm to his reputation,” according to a statement released by the faculty association, which is the bargaining agent for faculty. It is the second victory Galloway has won in a long campaign to restore his reputation. Former Supreme Court justice Mary Ellen Boyd conducted a months-long investigation in 2016 that dismissed the assault complaint, as well as other minor complaints. Boyd did, however, determine that Galloway had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a middle-aged student. After she submitted her report, UBC fired Galloway anyway. The faculty association then filed two separate grievances, one claiming UBC had breached his privacy rights and caused damage to his - 2 - reputation, the other demanding that he be reinstated and compensated for lost income.

The cellist stands at the window all night and all the next day. The novel felt much more like a writer's creative interpretation of the suffering in what could be any war, not the reality of what happened specifically in Sarajevo.
