Just received this from Dr. Lackey - another fairly local conference to consider submitting to and possibly attending - get those lines on your CV!! (Interesting that this graduate student organization also chose "egad" as their acronym, isn't it? Of course, ours is better because it's EGADS! with that exclamation point - makes all the difference!!)
Poets, Practice, and Passion in the Profession: A Dare to be Different
Texas A&M University-Commerce will hold the 18th Annual English Graduates for Academic Development (EGAD) Conference on February 26, 2010. We are pleased to welcome slam poet and educator Taylor Mali as our keynote speaker for the conference (more information at taylormali.com). Taylor’s mission statement includes this important line: “I want to be a spokesman for teaching’s nobility, one of the poets laureate of passion in the classroom.” His goal—to be part of a movement that brings smart, successful, and qualified people into classrooms across America. Althusser posits that teachers are the only people tenably positioned to bring about effective change, and we at EGAD feel that we are all teachers in some sense, using words and language as the “weapons.” Althusser refers to our efforts to create meaning in our lives and in the lives of those we touch, through teaching, tutoring, writing, and performing.
EGAD is now accepting proposals for papers and panels dealing with contemporary issues in academia. While adherence to the conference theme is not necessary, it is encouraged, and we welcome submissions from all areas of academic discourse including, but not limited to: English, History, Journalism, Political Science, Education, Psychology, and Sociology. Submissions due Jan. 8, 2010. Registration materials will be sent upon acceptance to the conference. Panels will be organized by topic.
Suggested areas of interest:
Critical Theory
Foreign Language Studies
Science Fiction
Academia/Professional Issues
Composition & Rhetoric
Linguistics/ESL
Pedagogy
Pop Culture
Grad Student Issues
Writing Center Theory & Practice
Film Studies
Literary Studies

*N.B. The conference will include sessions dedicated to Creative Writing, both for writers to share their works with an audience and for writers to learn from experienced writers, including a poetry workshop with Taylor Mali.
Share your passion for your profession with us at EGAD by submitting your paper/panel abstract of 250-500 words by January 8, 2010.

Federation Rhetoric Symposium 2010 - CFP
For all of you rhetoricians out there - or those who have dabbled in it and would like to try out some conferencing at a graduate-friendly fairly close by venue (Denton, TX; a bit north of Austin - home of Texas Women's University). Here's the CFP (notice all the different categories and possible topics that might only minimally involve real rhetorical theory - those of you who teach writing at high schools may find some of these topics interesting):
Call For Papers: Federation Rhetoric Symposium 2010 Rhetoric 2.0: Continuity and Change from the Oral Tradition to the Digital Age
The Federation Rhetoric Symposium is a small, intimate conference that provides an excellent opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students. This conference is very inviting for students who have not presented before or have little experience with conference presentations. We would love to have some of your department's students attend this conference.
Call For Papers: Federation Rhetoric Symposium 2010 Rhetoric 2.0: Continuity and Changefrom the Oral Tradition to the Digital Age
Texas Woman's University

February 12, 2010
**Deadline for Submission of 250-Word Abstract: December 1, 2009**
Once a thing is put in writing, it rolls about all over the place, falling into the hands of those who have no concern with it just as easily as under the notice of those who comprehend; it has no notion of whom to address or whom to avoid. And when it is ill-treated or abused as illegitimate, it always needs its father to help it, being quite unable to protect or help itself. (Plato, Phaedrus)
The Federation Rhetoric Symposium will provide an opportunity for a diverse group of scholars to investigate how today’s rhetors continue to use the wisdom of Sophistic, Classical, and Medieval rhetors who debated the validity of rhetoric, Renaissance and Modern rhetors who helped this art transition into a fully developed written tradition, and the contemporary debate about the validity of digital rhetoric.
The Federation Rhetoric Symposium is now accepting proposals for papers and panels from faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and independent scholars investigating the ways rhetoric has and has not changed throughout the centuries and contemplating future continuities and changes. We are broadly defining the theme to emphasize rhetoric in all areas including but not limited to:
Rhetorical Theory
Rhetorical History
Discourse Analysis
Genre Analysis
Composition Theory
Communication Studies
English Studies
Journalism
History
Film Studies
Digital Rhetoric
New Media Studies
Disability, Gender and Minority Studies
Political Science
Suggestions for possible areas of interest:
Critical TheoryAcademia/Professional Issues
Rhetoric & Philosophy
