The symposium will explore how the interplay between the creative and critical can bolster literacies scholarship, pedagogical practices, political and activist expression, and community formation and transformation.
We are particularly eager to receive proposals that explore the creative-critical in relationship to one or more of the CLC’s guiding tenets centered on an ethics of 1.) justice, 2.) imagination, 3.) community accountability, and 4.) love.
We are currently accepting proposals for both synchronous and asynchronous presentations. See our call for proposals here.
Email your proposal to [email protected].
Synchronous Proposal Deadline: January 17th, 2025
Asynchronous Proposal Deadline: April 17th, 2025
A greater exploration of “community accountability” can be found in Alexis Pauline Gumbs’s review of “Community Accountability: Emerging Movements to Transform Violence,” a special issue of Social Justice: A Journal of Crime, Conflict & World Order (Vol 37, No. 4, 2011-2012) edited by Alisa Bierria, Mimi Kim, and Clasissa Rojas.
