Call for Presenters – Saturday April 20, 2013 CITE Conference
The CITE 2013 team is looking for presenters to further thinking and influence pedagogy regarding our conference theme Global Perspectives; Individual Voices. We are seeking presentations of approximately 75 minutes that may focus on the following questions, or suit the conference theme in other unique ways.
· How can global citizenship be fostered in the English classroom?
· How do we encourage our students to find their own voices as part of a global environment?
· How can literature be used as a way to understand the self in the world?
· Can you write on global issues without being ethnocentric?
· Does reading global literature create a false sense of cultural understanding?
· What does Canadian literature mean anymore?
For further information, or to submit your proposal, please contact Maggie Hanrahan at mhanrahan@appleby.on.ca
The deadline for submissions is Monday, December 10th, 2012.
