at CCCC Twenty-First Annual Meeting

2 April 2008

Conference on College Composition & Communications

National Council of the Teachers of

English Fifty-Ninth Annual Convention

A Welcome from the 2008 Chairs

On behalf of the Executive Committee, we would like to welcome you to the 21stannual Research Network Forum at CCCC in New Orleans, Louisiana Since both

of us spent considerable amounts of time in Louisiana (Norbert grew up here and Risa did her doctorate at UL-Lafayette), we are pleased to return to this region in

an effort to aid in strengthening its Post-Katrina growth; we hope that you find the city as enticing as the venue at RNF

As in our recent past, the RNF has continued to grow This year, we listened to past participants and changed our schedule, limiting the plenary address to 3 scholars in the morning session, which will allow for more time for work-in-

progress presenters to receive mentoring on their research projects Our plenary speakers are working on cutting edge research in areas that don’t often receive a venue at national conferences, so we think all in attendance will find their work on nontraditional communities intriguing and informative Katherine Kelleher Sohn

examines intergenerational literacies in Appalachia Jaime Armin Mejía searches

for Chicanos/Chicanas in Composition/Rhetoric Studies Peter Elbow explores speakers of Nonmainstream versions of English in the writing classroom By exploring the research opportunities in Appalachia, Chicano/Chicana Studies, and Nonmainstream writers, our plenary speakers will share how they come to hear voices often overlooked in our field and remind us of the importance of inclusion, not only in our classrooms, but also in our research We are grateful that Plenary Coordinator Kim Brian Lovejoy encouraged Katherine Kelleher Sohn, Jaime Armin Mejía, and Peter Elbow to share their new work with us

We have listened to past participants and thus moved our Editors’ Roundtable to earlier in the afternoon, so that more editors have the time to participate fully withRNF and get back to set up booths in the exhibit hall As many university presses are declining in number and in their ability to produce the monograph once neededfor tenure, this year Editor Coordinators Brad Lucas and William Macauley have invited two editors to briefly speak on the role of digital scholarship in the

academy As Kris Blair and Cheryl Ball will outline, digital scholarship must be taken seriously by those who write it, post it, read it, and evaluate it in terms of tenure and promotion After their brief remarks, RNF participants are welcome to meet with editors to discuss where their research may best fit in hopes of helping those who are work-in-progress presenters publish their research Thank you to all the editors who have agreed to join us today We hope that this exciting change

to RNF’s program will persuade participants to grab a quick po-boy or gumbo for lunch and return in time for the Editors’ Roundtable

One aspect of the RNF that remains unchanged is our commitment to mentor work-in-progress presenters on their research At many of our home institutions,

we find ourselves as the sole composition/rhetoric specialist (or one of a few) and find it difficult to share our work with people who can offer assistance with our research projects Paul Butler and his team of co-coordinators, Sally Chandler andMark Sutton, and assistants, Rob Lively and Sarah Perrault, have once again done

a splendid job of grouping researchers into fascinating roundtables where the discussions offer endless opportunities for networking Our work-in-progress

coordinators worked closely with discussion leader coordinators Lisa J McClure and Gina M Merys to place excellent mentors at tables with those presenting theirresearch Thank you to all of the discussion leaders—many who come year after year—for your time and expertise The RNF could not operate without our

discussion leaders’ willingness to fill this important role Finally, thank you to Katherine V Wills for the publicity that draws so many proposals so we can

organize such a wonderful RNF

It is with great sadness, though, that we must inform you that Paul Butler’s role as Chief Work-in-Progress Coordinator will be missed as he cannot continue to serve

in this role (though we keep hoping he will change his mind) We will miss him on the executive committee and hope he will find new ways support RNF in the

future

We do want to point out that after many years of doing the behind the scenes work

at RNF that Deanya Lattimore has finally been given a title that better fits what she does for us She is now the Assistant Chair and Web Coordinator (and overall RNF electronic guru) Her tireless work on behalf of RNF allows us to keep track

of our ever growing annual conference We could not do what we do without Deanya keeping track of everyone and everything Thank you!

Thanks to Lisa J McClure for taking the time to create an index so people can easily find their tables Lisa also spent a lot of time checking facts to make sure that discussion leaders and work-in-progress presenters were listed at the correct tables She has very keen eyes! Additionally, Lisa coordinates the RNF

participants’ survey so we can make changes for future RNFs Please make sure you fill out the form and return it to one of the RNF Executive Committee membersbefore you leave

Thanks to Graduate Research Network Liaison Janice Walker (who sends her regards as she misses RNF as she sits on CCCC Executive Committee) for

reminding the CCCC Executive Committee of RNF’s role at the conference We encourage everyone to attend GRN at the Computers & Writing Conference on May 21, 2008 at the University of Georgia For more information, contact

jwalker@georgiasouthern.edu

As we have continued to grow, the budgets of our collective universities have continued to shrink Once again, Bedford/St Martin’s Press has provided us with a grant to cover our program printing Thank you to Nick Carbone, Director of New Media, Angela Dambrowski, Advertising Project Manager, and Karen Melton

Soeltz, Director of Marketing at Bedford/St Martin’s for their generous grant Additionally, Joan Feinberg, President of Bedford/St Martin’s, continues to supportwhat Research Network Forum values and is indeed a good friend to RNF Please make sure you visit the fine people at Bedford/St Martin’s Press in the exhibit hall,thank them for supporting RNF, and share your RNF experience with them

Without all of these wonderful people, the RNF would not exist Additionally, we must thank the Executive Committee of CCC, chaired this year by RNF’s founder and friend Charles Bazerman, for its generous offer to keep the RNF fee-free for those who register for CCCC and allow us space to meet at the annual convention

Convention Manager Eileen Maley worked with us to ensure all RNF participants received invitations and updates Please let the CCCC Executive Committee know how you enjoyed your day with RNF.

Whether this is your first or twenty-first RNF, we hope you enjoy your day at the Research Network Forum as we celebrate the fact that we are probably old enough

to have a drink (after your presentation, please) We know you will “pass a good time” and “Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler!” Please let us know if we can be of anyassistance
