Announcing the new Graduate Research Network listserv

The Graduate Research Network (GRN) list has a new home. Unfortunately, the old list has met its demise. The removal of the list from the ISU server ended up coinciding with a hard drive crash, and we lost the list of member addresses. :( To subscribe to the new list, please visit: http://www.letu.edu/mail/lists/listinfo/grn-l

We apologize for the inconvenience of not being able to move people over to the new list automatically the way we had hoped to. Please pass this along to anyone who may either have been on the old list, or who you think would be interested in participating in the GRN discussions online. Thanks!

Forwarde message. Please forgive any cross-postings:

The editors of Across The Disciplines are pleased to announce the publication of a special issue on “WAC, WID, ECAC, CAC, CXC, LAC VAC? Incorporating the Visual into Writing / Electronic / Communication / Learning Across the Curriculum,” guest-edited by Joan Mullin (University of Texas at Austin). We invite you to visit the journal and read these articles at our Web site (hosted by the WAC Clearinghouse) at http://wac.colostate.edu/atd/ .

“This special issue explores the use of visuals to teach, to construct knowledge, and to deconstruct knowledge; specific disciplinary expectations concerning visuals as end products/forms of communication; the production, changes and/or effects visual technologies (from paper to screen) have had on our field; the intersections between/among visual/written/spoken pedagogies and productions across disciplines/interdisciplines; ways in which brain activity dedicated to writing intersects/affects/changes visual production.”
