Composing Group Meetings for Fall 2005

The KU Composing reading group will have its first meeting on Tuesday, September 20th from 11am-11:50am in Lytle 207. As I said in the meeting yesterday, I am thinking about this first meeting as an organizational meeting. I thought we could decide on a couple of readings we would like to discuss and to find a good time to meet for the rest of the semester.

There are several articles on eReserve that we might want to consider:

• "Bitch" Pedagogy- Agonistic Discourse and the Politics of Resistance (Greenbaum, Andrea)
• Critical Discourse Analysis and Composition Studies: A Study of Presidential Discourse and Campus Discord (Powell, Pegeen Reichert)
• Fa(c)ulty Wiring? Energy, Power, Work, and Resistance to Technology (Strenski, Ellen)
• Pedagogy of Multiliteracies- designing social futures (The New London Group)
• Politics of writing- Introduction (Clark and Ivanic)
• Resistance as a Tragic Trope (Trimbur, John)
• Students' Right to Possibility: Basic Writing and African American Rhetoric (Gilyard, Keith and Elaine Richardson)
• Technology and Literacy- A Story About the Perils of Not Paying Attention (Selfe, Cynthia L.)
• Three Codifications of Critical Literacy (Philion)
• Writing on the Bias (Brodkey, Linda)

But these articles are just suggestions. At the first meeting, or on the blog, please post any additional suggestions and we can add them to the eReserve list.
