The Personal Journal & Cultural Studies
Southwest Texas Popular Culture & American Culture Asstns
31st Annual Conference: February 10-13, 2010
http://swtxpca.org/documents/123.html, “Special Topics”Submission Deadline: 12/15/09
Proposals are being accepted for panels on pedagogy regarding all types and
forms of an often overlooked genre, the Personal Journal (historical,
political, social, cultural, ecological, ethnographic, memoir, diary,
video-journal, TV/Film self-confessionals, etc), and its integral
relationship with Cultural Studies, Literature, Media Studies and other
disciplines.All topics and approaches to teaching the personal journal are welcome, the
three main pedagogy categories being a) as a stand-alone genre b) a genre
incorporated into arts/humanities courses, and c) an object of study–a
cultural artifact featured in any of its other forms such as television and
film. Authors reflecting cultural, ethnic, socio-economic, and political
diversity, as well as authorial diversity of approach to the genre and its
form variants are encouraged. Exploring the idea of garnering more
recognition and incorporation of the personal journal and its versatility
across the disciplines as a tool for analysis in its written, oral and
visual forms is also encouraged. Papers on any facet of Personal Journal
pedagogy are welcome!Graduate students/future teachers are also welcome to participate, or
register to attend the conference and personal journal forum. Those
interested in the Personal Journal panel should contact the Personal
Journal Chair, Lisette Davies Ward at lisette.daviesward@cgu.edu with any
questions. Submit proposals of 150-250 words, including a working title and
a brief biography of around 100 words, to lisette.daviesward@cgu.edu.Conference Keynote Speaker:
