e been readings about remembering and the self some notable titles include the remembering self construction and accuracy in the self narrative 1994 neisser and fivush eds and edmund blair bolles remembering and forgetting an inquiry into the nature of memory 1988 also added to my list of reads is douwe draaisma s metaphors of memory a history of ideas about the mind which was affordable with shipping and all draaisma s monograph examines the many metaphors that have been used to describe memory throughout the span of time some of the chapters discuss classical memory digital memory and what is termed holographic memory included in the discussion is freud s mystic writing pad while i m reading away i must express how surprised i am the many transformations that this blog has undergone first the blog was created to examine memory in terms of remembrance and then strictly focused on rhetoric now the blog has arrived at joining rhetoric and memory with recent postings about abolitionist rhetoric and the act of remembrance 2009 will be the year when i might finalize this blog with my entire bibliography on memory and rhetoric however i may change my mind because i would want to add more sources about ethnic autobiography i would even want to include bits and pieces of my own autobiography therefore expect more in 09 wishin you all a rich and prolific new year at 5 05

teaching practices that met the civic and cultural needs of their students the volume analyzes lydia maria child s the freedmen s book a post civil war educational textbook for newly freed slaves zitkala ša s autobiographical essays published in the atlantic monthly in 1900 that questioned the work of off reservation boarding schools for native american students and jovita idar marta peña and leonor villegas de magnón s contributions to the spanish language newspaper la crónica in 1910 and 1911 contributions that offered language and cultural instruction their readers could not receive in texas public schools author jessica enoch explores the possibilities and limitations of rhetorical education by focusing on the challenges that child zitkala ša idar peña and villegas made to dominant educational practices each of these teachers transformed their seemingly apolitical occupation into a site of resistance revising debilitating educational methods to advance culture based and politicized teachings that empowered their students to rise above their subjugated positions refiguring rhetorical education considers how race culture power and language are both implicit and explicit in discussions of rhetorical education for marginalized students and includes six major tenets to guide present day pedagogies for civic engagement at 8 55 pm no comments labels new books

2009 michael stancliff a prominent early feminist abolitionist and civil rights advocate frances ellen watkins harper wrote and spoke across genres and reform platforms during the turbulent second half of the nineteenth century her invention of a new commonplace language of moral character drew on the persuasive and didactic motifs of the previous decades of african american reform politics but far exceeded her predecessors in crafting lessons of rhetoric for women focusing on the way in which harper brought her readers a critical training for the rhetorical action of a life commitment to social reform this book reconsiders her practice as explicitly and primarily a project of teaching this study also places harper s work firmly in black nationalist lineages from which she is routinely excluded establishes harper as an architect of a collective african american identity that constitutes a political and theoretical bridge between early abolitionism and 20th century civil rights activism and contributes to the contemporary portrayal of harper as an important theorist of african american feminism whose radical egalitarian ethic has lasting relevance for civil rights and human rights workers routledge taylor francis group at 8 14 pm no comments labels african american rhetoric new in books the hemingses of monticello an american family annette gordon reed at 2 29 pm no

race and racism in writing assessment edited collection cfp race and racism in writing assessment edited collection the editors of this collection ask for chapter proposals that consider issues of race and racism in college writing assessments for instance can our current theories and practices of writing assessment serve the changing face of higher education are the methods that we currently use really the best ones to assess the literacies of our diverse students what about new technologies of assessment such as machine scoring and directed self placement dsp and what about the expectations that students bring to tests the uses and abuses of test scores and the machinery of testing systems that inevitably track students along certain educational paths the editors invite you to consider proposing an essay scholarly piece classroom study or research article chapters may consider all aspects of writing assessment including histories of assessment practices test design administrative policies program applications of test outcomes machine scoring validation studies discursive or genre functions of assessment or other closely related work our goal is to begin new dialogues about writing assessment ones that go beyond simplistic explanations about racial achievement gaps ethnic literacies or cultures of deficit all submissions should discuss or inquire specifically about racial formations race ethnicity racism in writing assessments or commiserate issues such as the intersections of socio economic status gender and race we are most interested in newer empirical studies that inquire into race ethnicity and racism in writing programs or scholarly essays that discuss writing assessment theory alongside frameworks that highlight racial formations such as critical race theory whiteness studies multiculturalism racial identity development anti racist pedagogy post colonial theory or comparative rhetorics we also want to encourage international or cross national studies that complicate our discussions of racial ethnic identity and literacy testing the primary audience for this collection will be u s writing studies scholars educational assessment researchers writing teachers and writing program administrators additionally we are encouraging international submissions currently contributors for this collection who have already agreed to offer either chapters or responses to sections of chapters are chris anson wayne au valerie balester elisabeth bautier adam banks bill condon tom fox keith gilyard anne herrington malea powell victor villanueva and morris young background and context according to statistics from the 2005 u s census bureau 45 of children under the age of 5 are of color in fact the national center for educational statistics 35th edition of projections of educational statistics to 2016 2007 reports that by 2016 enrollment in degree granting institutions will increase in the following ways 8 for whites 29 for blacks 45 for hispanics 32 for asian or pacific islanders 34 for american indians or alaska natives 15 for nonresident aliens not only will u s college students increasingly be of color but internationally many other countries are experiencing major changes in cultural diversity with influxes of immigrants from asia africa and the middle east such demographic changes have and will continue to have a major impact on educational systems the changing demographics of educational systems also raise important questions about current educational practices in particular the assessment of writing for example given the u s history of racial inequality and our understanding of the way that assessment has historically reasserted those inequalities how do the new demographics of u s universities affect or should affect the ways that we assess students literacies how does diversity as a global set of racial formations in schools complicate and require new ways to see socio economic status language proficiency and attainment and education policy how can the scholarship and research on racialized rhetorics racial histories and language diversity in the classroom offer productive new ways to theorize practice understand and validate writing assessments in higher education this collection we hope will address these important writing assessment needs and composition studies issues collection s organization and guiding themes the collection will be organized around the following sections which we offer as a guide for submissions rac ism in assessment histories how is the racialized history of literacy testing affected writing assessment its purposes its instruments and the use of test results how might the history of literacy testing be understood as a series of racial projects that shape the racism we see today how might whiteness as a discourse or set of linguistic dispositions construct writing assessments its instruments or codes or its purposes what

ethnic categories accounted for in local writing assessments their validation studies test results or consequences how do racial categories inform the construction of writing assessments the
