"Writing's
Expectations: Teaching Writing in Multimodal Times"
--A Dialogue
between Anne Wysocki and
Dennis Lynch
Tumblr, Facebook, or html? Video
argument? Animated writing?
Email or txt? We
all—students in our classes and we who teach writing—face proliferating
rhetorical situations for composing. When
to use words, when to use pictures, when to use video—and when to
follow, make, or break conventions?
What are our responsibilities—as teachers, administrators, and as
producers and consumers of texts—to our students, to our programs, and
to thoughtful textual production and analysis?
Join us to listen to these two co-authors and collaborators
discuss their own experiences in the teaching and learning of writing
using multi-modal methods.
Wysocki and Lynch are co-authors of the popular textbook
Compose, Design, Advocate: A
Rhetoric for Integrating the Written, Visual, and Oral (just
about to come out in its second edition) and of
The DK Handbook (soon to
come out in its third edition and in a fully digital version).
Wysocki teaches new media aesthetics, composition, culture,
and rhetorics; technologies of communication; and pedagogy at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She is co-author (with
Johndan Johnson-Eilola, Cynthia Selfe, and UM-TC's Geoffrey Sirc) of
Writing New Media (Utah State UP, 2004) and of several award-winning
new media texts.
Lynch directs the first year writing program for the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, an urban research university with
25,000 students. He teaches and researches rhetorical theory,
history, and pedagogy.

Friday Lunch Keynote by Kate Gale:
"The Art of Writing"
As both an editor and a writer, I believe that inhabiting the world of
writing takes work, invention and polishing. We need an igloo in
which to create, a tribe to help us understand what we're writing, and a
place at the table to find a home for that writing. The writer's
life is not only a moveable feast, it's a journey from Arctic to island,
to the voodoo search for a publisher. We'll try to understand it
all--entering the room alone humming, exiting with an edited symphony in
your head.
