New Additions to the CRG Binder for 2007-2008

Hello everyone and welcome to the Composition Reading Group's third year! Just so everyone knows, CRG is open to all faculty, grad students, and students who are interested in reading and discussing emerging scholarship in the field of Rhetoric and Composition.

CRG meets the second Thursday of every month from 11am-12pm in Lytle Hall 207.

We had an organizing meeting on Thursday, September 13th and decided to read Andrea Greenbaum's "'Bitch' Pedagogy: Agonistic Discourse and the Politics of Resistance," from the edited collection Insurrections: Approaches to Resistance in Composition Studies for our October 11th meeting. The article is available in the CRG binder in the English Department Mail/Copy Room or it can be downloaded through eReserves in the library.

We also decided that we would like to read:
  • Diana George, "From Analysis to Design: Visual Communication in the Teaching of Writing."
  • Keith Gilyard and Elaine Richardson, "Students' Right to Possibility: Basic Writing and African American Rhetoric."
  • Valerie Felita Kinloch, "Revisiting the Promise of Students' Right to Their Own Language: Pedagogical Strategies."
  • Nancy Welch, "Living Room: Teaching Public Writing in a Post-Publicity Era."
I have also compiled some new articles that we might want to consider for the 2007-2008 CRG. You can take a look at the list here. All of the articles are available in the CRG binder in the English Department Mail/Copy Room and will be available on eReserve very soon.

I look forward to another great year!
