> Literature
> • How have authors’ journey experiences (a trip/ vacation, migration,
> displacement, diaspora, and exile) shaped certain literary texts?
> • How does literature with a keen interest in “journey” discuss ideals of
> cosmopolitanism and world citizenship?
> • The literal, metaphorical or imaginary journey of characters within
> poetry and fiction
> • Journey themes in children’s and adolescent literature: literal
> journeys, coming of age stories, psychological and intellectual and/ or
> developmental
> • Close readings of published or archived travel-diaries/ travel-journals
> • Travel Writing theory
> Sociolinguistic
> • Second language learning as a journey to a new multilingual persona
> • Linguistic fieldwork as a journey to another place, culture, and language
> • Language change as a reflection of community journey (for example, the
> rise of gender-neutral pronouns in response to society's changing attitudes)
> Rhetoric & Composition
> • The rhetoric of journey stories (fiction or nonfiction)
> • The writer’s metaphoric journey / writing as a recursive journey
> • The student writer’s metaphoric journey in the composition classroom
> Pedagogy in the English Classroom
> • We would also welcome an exploration of how an inter- or
> trans-disciplinary approach to English Studies and the English classroom
> symbolizes the concept of a journey
>
> All submissions, including book reviews, must be original work and not be
> under consideration elsewhere.
