Reply-To: Nigel Caplan <nacaplan@udel.edu>, <slw_cccc@lists.ncsu.edu>

Dear colleagues,

(Apologies for cross-posting)

The University of Delaware's School of Education is seeking applicants for a tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the area of Literacy with a focus on English Language Learners. Applicants should have an earned doctorate in education or a related field with a focus on literacy and ELL students, and should be well informed about evidence-based instructional practices for these students, including practices that minimize the risks for literacy-related problems.

Please see the attached announcement, which includes contact details (not me -- I'm just passing on the good news that we're hiring an ELL specialist in the School of Ed!).

Separately, the English Language Institute is searching for three full-time continuing non-tenure faculty (just like me!) at the instructor or assistant professor rank. Details for those jobs are here: http://sites.udel.edu/eli/about/faculty/esl-faculty-positions/

Please consider applying or share with your colleagues (and former graduate students). UD is an excellent employer, and both programs (Education and the ELI) are highly regarded and growing.

Nigel

ASU's 18th Annual Southwest English Symposium

ASU is hosting the 18th Annual Southwest English Symposium (SWES) on February 15th-16th, 2013. This year's conference is titled "-isms, -ologies, and -istics: Conversations Across the Disciplines" and the goal is to bring together scholars for an interdisciplinary conversation about the theories and ideologies that both unite and isolate us within our field. Please see the CFP below or visit  http://english.clas.asu.edu/swes2013 for more information.

18th Southwest English Symposium

-isms, -ologies, and -istics: Conversations Across the Disciplines

February 15-16, 2013

Contact Us: swes.asu@gmail.com

Given the multifaceted nature of English departments, the aim of this conference is to explore a cross-disciplinary conversation about ideologies and ideas. Because disciplines are largely characterized by their theoretical movements or opposition to such movements, submissions to this conference are encouraged to focus on suffixes. For instance, how do the suffixes of academia play a role in specific fields of study? How might -isms, -ologies, and -istics reinforce the sometimes disparate conversations among or within disciplines? How can they build connections between disciplines?

Papers may address applications of suffixes to a specific theory or mode of thought, or may take on a cross-disciplinary angle. Of particular interest are presentations that encourage audience participation and discussion, and contribute closely to the conference theme and to questions concerning aspects of the following:

 

Possible Topics:
aesthetics, classism, cross-culturalism, deconstructionism, ecocriticism, epistemology, feminism, film criticism, heuristics, historicism, humanism, humanistics, ideology, linguistics, literary criticism, Marxism, materialism, Medievalism, methodology, Modernism, ontology, pedagogies, phenomenology, plagiarism, postcolonialism, posthumanism, postmodernism, postpositivism, racism, realism, rhetorics, Romanticism, sexism, technology, theology

This conference welcomes 250-500 word abstracts for sessions, panels, and/or roundtable proposals from graduate students, postgraduates and early career scholars. Because the theme of the conference is inclusive and interdisciplinary, it provides focus for a dialogue while encouraging the creative connections across several areas of graduate student scholarship. Creative pieces will be accepted if they are accompanied by an explanation of how the work contributes to the conference theme.

 

Submission Deadline December 1st, 2012
Please visit http://english.clas.asu.edu/swes2013 to submit proposals.
