Thanks to everyone who came to our first meeting of the year! Here are some of the announcements that were made:
Wednesday, October 19th 12-1:30pm, Bailey Hall Room 409: RSA President David Zarefsky will present on the current state and future of Rhetorical Studies, Brown Bag Lunch (possible pizza...tba) and Q&A
October/November TBA: Oral History Service Event with local retirement home community, contact Joy Bancroft at joybancroft@gmail.com if you’re interested in helping out or attending
Summer 2013 RSA Institute will be here at KU. Dave Tell (KU) with Debra Hawhee (Penn State), Michael Bernard-Donals (Wisconsin), and Cara Finnegan (Illinois) are planning the program. After the new year, Dave will be assembling a team of grad students to help with this, so let him know if you’re interested (davetell@ku.edu) and look for more information on it in January.
We also discussed the following topics, so I thought I'd share to see if anyone wants to continue the conversation on here or Facebook: Where do you go to find scholarly opportunities, calls for papers/proposals, and conference information? How do we collaborate on research projects and what can KUAR do to help with that process?
The current list of places we look/subscribe to for Rhetoric-related calls include the following (The first 3 have many more links to references on the actual websites; Comment if you have more to share!):
-http://rhetoric.sdsu.edu/resources/listservs.htm
-http://www.uiowa.edu/commstud/resources/listserv.html
-http://www.kean.edu/~complink/collegecompproflinks.html
-Critnet (specifically suggested to do an email filter for Conferences and calls)
-H-net (Humanities list), H-rhetor, H-digirhet
-RSA Student Blogora (TX)
Have a great week, everyone!
Rachel
KUAR Chair
