LAST CHANCE to apply for HASTAC Scholars! Deadline October 15

The HASTAC Scholars application period is now open. Selected Scholars will serve a two-year term, beginning on November 1, 2016, and concluding on October 30, 2018. Read on for all the details you need to know in order to apply. Thank you for your interest! 

This program is designed to be shaped by the HASTAC Scholars each year. The HASTAC Scholars program is directed by two Ph.D. students—Kalle Westerling (CUNY) and Allison Guess (CUNY). These two directors provide leadership and arrange opportunities for the cohort of Scholars.

What do HASTAC Scholars actually do?
  • Participate in our annual University Worth Fighting For series—online or in person
  • Blog about your own work and research projects, questions, ideas
  • Report on activities at your local institution and department
  • Share insights from conferences and performances
  • Network both online and at local meet-ups or conferences
  • Conduct interviews, book reviews, project reviews—your status as a HASTAC Scholar can give you a sense of standing to reach out to major people in your field!
  • Are you interested in a new tool or pedagogical idea? You could host a small video chat with other Scholars to work through how you can implement it!
  • Other ideas: Create an app, co-ordinate the development of a small DH project, work with your university library on a digitization project, etc.
  • In short: every student ends up being active in a different way. We are open to how you want to help build this community or develop a supportive community on your campus!

Thank you!


We are proud to report the success of the 2nd LLC Gradate Student Conference: #Intellectual Activist Movement(s): Reconnecting University Scholarship and Community Action.

At least 50 people participated in a conversation on the value of being an intellectual/activist: on lessons learned, on unanswered questions, on how changing socio-cultural landscapes interact with our work, and on what it means to be an intellectual activist in 2016 in Baltimore, the U.S., and internationally.

Each of the panels and the papers presented allowed participants to explore topics such as, promises on teaching and education, memory, the resilience and construction of communities, language, diversity, and power. These topics made attendees think about the need to constantly analyze, critique and act upon structures that maintain and separate the daily experience of individuals and communities.

At the same time, the micro-talks session allowed the audience to engage in debates about the evolving LGBT+ language in digital spaces; the untapped radical potential of Disability Studies to confront inequities of oppression in the university; the presence and action of social movements on campuses, and the reflection on how teachers are intellectual/activists in their daily labor.

Finally, our successful Art as Protest session included powerful performances that reflected upon community, race, gender, and memory. Each performance executed a critique of power, and examined ways of resistance.

Thanks to our presenters, collaborators, and attendees. This conference would not have been possible without the support from the following departments and organizations: The Language, Literacy and Culture Doctoral Program, The LLC GSO, B’PAR GSO, the Department of Sociology & Anthropology, the Department of American Studies, the Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communications Department, and the Student Life’s Mosaic: Center for Culture and Diversity.

Enhancing and Advancing Teacher Education: Professional Identities, Communities, Beliefs, and Practices

DATES: April 7-8, 2017
LOCATION: Virginia International University, Fairfax, VA, USA (just outside Washington, DC)
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 5, 2016


In the spirit of promoting self-driven, collaborative, meaningful, and sustainable professional development, CLLC 2017 focuses on the professional identities, communities, beliefs, and practices of educators and how they can all be harnessed to enhance and advance the lifelong learning we recognize as the ideal meaning of the phrase “teacher education.” Our goal is to involve pre- and in-service teachers, teacher educators, administrators, researchers, and other professionals at all stages of their careers in a multidirectional sharing of expertise and experiences that will contribute to future exploratory practice and professional growth. 

PLENARY SPEAKERS

Dr. Joy Kreeft Peyton (Center for Applied Linguistics) on collaborative international online professional development

Dr. Arieh Sherris (Texas A&M University-Kingsville) on agency and activism in situated teacher practices

Dr. Rashi Jain (Montgomery College) on translingually responsive pedagogy

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Proposals for paper and poster presentations, practice-oriented sessions and workshops, colloquia, and panel discussions are invited in areas related to the themes of educators' professional identities, communities, beliefs, and practices until December 5, 2016.

Presentation topics need not address the topic of teacher education directly; we welcome proposals on anything that educators themselves would consider worthwhile for enhancing their own and their colleagues’ professional development and daily practices.

For abstract submission guidelines and details on how submit a proposal, please visit our Call for Proposals page: http://conference.viu.edu/cllc/content/call-for-proposals.

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are so pleased to announce our latest educational outreach initiative, "Valuable Voices" -- a free iPhone app for teachers!

The app provides 12 ready-to-implement exercises for students and educators -- one a month, for a year's worth of teaching -- to build awareness of language and culture. The teaching exercises are geared toward middle/high school English but can easily be adapted for elementary or even college, in a variety of content areas.

To download the app, go to the App Store on your iPhone and type in "Valuable Voices" -- attached is a screenshot so that you know what to look for. To our knowledge this is the only sociolinguistics app of its kind. Hopefully one day we can expand to create more apps -- and hopefully expand to make the apps available to Android users, too.

We would love to hear any feedback you may have, and please pass this along to any teachers or students who may be interested. We’ll be presenting on the app and some of our other educational initiatives at several conferences coming up, including at the Linguistic Society of America/Society for Linguistic Anthropology as well as the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and we plan to incorporate insights from those who have used it.

We couldn't have done this work without our team of undergraduate and graduate student assistants, as well as our many teacher consultants and their students, who are always our inspiration!

Thanks to all of you for your support!
