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.
