Margery Fee (editor of Canadian Literature), Kathryn Grafton (associate editor of CanLit Guides), and Katja Thieme (professor of English at UBC) will deliver a paper, “Teaching Academic Writing about Literature on the Web,” in Edmonton this May. The paper discusses their plan to integrate writing instruction into CanLit Guides so that instructors and students can combine the study of Canadian literature with useful material on how to write in the discipline of literary criticism. The material will include samples of student and academic writing at various stages of revision.
This talk is part of a larger conference on technologies and how they have transformed literary and cultural studies. Digital Diversity 2015: Writing | Feminism | Culture celebrates the twentieth anniversary of The Orlando Project, an ongoing experiment in digital methods that produced Orlando: Women’s Writing in the British Isles, from the Beginnings to the Present. Orlando is an interactive website allows readers to create dynamic inquiries about British women writers from many perspectives.
The panel will take place on May 8, 2015 at Lister Conference Centre, University of Alberta. For more information, please visit the conference website and refer to Digital Diversity Program.
We hope to see you there!
