Subject: Kairos Reference and Invitation
Hey, all----
I was pleased to see Arun-Kumar's reference to John McLaughlin's book
review in Kairos: A Journal for Teachers of Writing in Webbed Environments,
and I'm writing to share with listmembers opportunities for publishing in
Kairos.
As many of you know, Kairos (http://english.ttu.edu/kairos) is an
electronic journal designed to serve as a peer-reviewed resource for
teachers, researchers, and tutors of writing at the college and university
level, including rhetoric, composition, technical writing, business
writing, professional communication, creative writing, and literature. We
are also expanding our focus to include K-12 language arts education more
prominently.
Here are sections in the journal, with a summary of their publishing
interests and contact information for each (if you visit the journal's
site, you'll see examples of all of these):
Features:
Hypertextual scholarship of the highest caliber, fully developed and
clearly defined scholarly engagements of key issues relating to the
teaching, researching, and tutoring of writing. Douglas Eyman and I serve
as journal Co-Editors---please contact us at kairosed@cfcc.net to learn
more and to submit possible webtexts.
CoverWeb:
A multivocal examination of a single issue, bringing into conversation a
series of focused hypertexts. Contact CoverWeb Editor Joel English
(jaenglis@odu.edu) for more information about upcoming themes and to talk
about contributing. Idea: perhaps someone might propose a CoverWeb on
humanities computing?
Reviews:
Reviews of books, software, technologies, and anything else relating to the
journal's general publishing program. Contact Reviews Co-Editors Rich Rice
(rarice@bsu.edu) and Jennifer Stimson (j0stim01@louisville.edu) to learn
more. Idea: HUMANIST's recent discussion of software options for rhetoric
and composition classes would be an excellent beginning for a series of
reviews.
News:
News updates from around the world, conference reviews, calls for papers,
research in progress, electronic list conversations, and more. Contact
News Editor Trish Harris (mirthgirl@mindspring.com) to talk about ways to
contribute. Idea: perhaps someone might suggest a particularly important
HUMANIST discussion for re-publication or share news about developing
research projects?
Response:
Classroom spotlights, InterMOOs with Kairos authors and other notable
scholars, interactive forums on key issues. Contact Response Editor
Jennifer Bowie (jebowie@ttacs.ttu.edu) to learn more. Idea: perhaps
several scholars from HUMANIST might share some of the outstanding work
they're doing in their classrooms?
With any other questions, feedback, or ideas, please write to
kairosed@cfcc.net. Douglas and I would be delighted to talk more with you
about Kairos.
Best wishes---
James
