The CEA Forum Online Archive
The CEA Forum Archive is available here and at the Youngstown State University site. We have made every effort to ensure the archive appears here in its entirety, but we do recommend that readers visit the YSU site to view past issues.
The CEA Forum
The CEA Forum is the online journal of teaching and learning for the College English Association. It publishes articles that address pedagogical theory, classroom practice and opinions about the profession of teaching college English. It is our hope that the journal will reflect the wide and varied interests of the CEA membership. To that end, we welcome pieces that examine the fields of literature, rhetoric/composition, creative writing, theory, and pedagogy; further, we encourage pieces that look at these not necessarily as discrete areas of specialization, but that look at the ways these fields intersect and the connections that can be made among them. The CEA Forum is now published online twice annually (January and July).
Members are invited to send submissions and suggestions for book reviews (including review essays) to the Associate Editor Janine Utell.

Call for Papers
Special Issue of Lore on the Intersections of Literature and Composition
Proposal Submission Deadline: July 1, 2008
The editors of Lore , an e-journal, are seeking submissions for a special issue dedicated to exploring the intersections of literature and composition. We will be accepting submissions of traditional scholarly inquiries (4,000 to 7,000 words) and shorter reflective pieces (500 to 2,000 words).
Regardless of one's individual affiliation to literature or composition, the political, pedagogical, and intellectual intersections of literature and composition are particularly fraught for the newest community members of English studies. One the one hand, graduate students, adjunct instructors, and new faculty who identify as specialists in literature are aware of the schism between the training they receive as literary scholars and the pedagogical skills and theory they need to effectively teach composition. One the other hand, specialists in composition are trained to deal with student writing yet must wrestle with the contested status of literary texts in the writing curriculum. The editors of Lore seek texts that address this gap in understanding between the seemingly disparate—but always interrelated—fields of writing and literature. We hope to solicit contributions from both literature and composition specialists.
Possible topics for submissions include:
Literature Students Teaching Writing
What preparation is needed for literature students to teach composition?
How does the study of pedagogy impact scholars' work with literature?
How does teaching writing change a graduate student's professional identity?
Intellectual Links between Literature and Composition
How are the fields of literature and writing interrelated?
How does the study of literature influence research in composition?
How does the study of composition influence research in literature?
Professional Issues at the Crossroads of Literature and Composition
How does each field cast its identity?
How is the membership of each side different? Or the same?
How does the divide between the two fields shape an English department?
We are accepting both proposals (~500 words) and complete manuscripts. Email submissions to Colleen Foley ( cmfoley@udel.edu ) or Kate Huber ( kmh@udel.edu ) as a Word document, PDF, or web-authored text (in HTML). Please follow the MLA documentation format.
