I'm Dr. Lanette Cadle, Assistant Professor of English at Missouri State University, specializing in Rhetoric and Composition, especially where those subjects intersect digital spaces. Upcoming events and 2007-2008 academic year news: At the CCCC (Conference on College Composition and Communication) April 2-5, 2008, I will be part of a team putting on a workshop entitled "Professional Identity and Development: Realities in Digital Composing" along with Missouri State graduate student David Gross; BGSU people Kristine Blair, Jen Almjeld, Florence Bacabac; BGSU alums Elizabeth Monske and Amie Wolf; Matt Barton of St. Cloud State; and two others that I will be meeting for the first time. Here's the focus of the workshop: This workshop will introduce participants to using various digital environments and engage them in new ways to develop professionally as graduate students and tenure line faculty. Professional development utilizing technology is particularly important in rhetoric and writing as more and more instructors are asking students to take up new media tools and texts in our classrooms. What better way to teach technology than by modeling for students our own assertions about technology and composition as tools for learning, researching, and production? This workshop shows ways graduate students and instructors can use digital elements to showcase work, enhance a sense of community, and expand professional development opportunities, even though we breakdown the clusters by group, we feel that each section could benefit both audiences. Participants are encouraged to bring their cvs, examples of their portfolios/eportfolios, links to blogs, wikis, facebook, and practical wisdom for discussion. Also at the 2008 CCCC, I am co-moderator for the Emerging Social Software SIG. The biannual Feminism(s) and Rhetoric(s) conference was October 4-6 in Little Rock, AR. My presentation, "Writing (Blogs) While Female," was Saturday, October 6 at 8:30 AM. Clancy Ratliff and Sara Wooten also presented. The Moon City Reading Series began Friday, August 31 with readings by two poets, myself and Marcus Cafagna, in Carrington Auditorium on the Missouri State campus. I am Acting Director of Composition for the 2007-2008 academic year. We also have a search for the permanent position; you can check the position announcement at http://apps.missouristate.edu/provost/academicopenings/position.asp?pid=438. |
