[lg policy] Mailing list submission: JOSTES's CFP

[Miriam E Ebsworth]

Apologies to all.

I was starting to write a note to myself to share the call with an old
student whose journey might be relevant, and it apparently flew to the
entire list. Please ignore it and I  will complete my note and send to its
intended recipient.

Ah the joys of cell phones...
May your journeys be happy ones,

Miriam

>> following:
>>
>> 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.
