Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |
[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Lincoln ASLE-UK conference special panel
Dear ASLEers, I'd like to draw particular attention to the pedagogical panel. The British Higher Education Academy has sponsored the English Dept at Bath Spa to carry out a study of ecocritical pedagogies. As part of the project, we are able to offer an honorarium (GBP100) to support contributors to a special round-table panel at the Lincoln conference in September. We have also been invited to put a proposal on ecocritical pedagogies to Palgrave Macmillan for a 'Teaching Ecocriticism' title, so publication is also possible. The format will be that each speaker will give a 10 minute summary of their paper, which will be available in full by electronic means. There will then be a discussion of the issues raised. If you're interested in participating, please copy your proposal to me as well as sending it to the conference organiser Rupert Hildyard. Please note that offering a pedagogical paper need not preclude you from offering an academic research or creative paper as well. Yours sincerely, Greg Garrard Chair of ASLE-UK Project Director of 'Education for Sustainable Development in English'
