Book Discussion on Interdisciplinary Research and Teaching
Posted on 04/08/09
On Monday, May 4, 2:00-4:30, PAX (Peace Studies) coordinator Tom Pynn and GWST (Gender and Women Studies) associate coordinator Ugena Whitlock will be leading a discussion of the book Creating Interdisciplinarity: Interdisciplinary Research and Teaching among College and University Faculty by Lisa Lattuca. For information on this new text, visit the Amazon.com website:
We have ordered 20 copies of the book, purchased courtesy of the dean’s office. (Thanks, Dean Vengroff!) We hope that all of the various programs in the CRS group will be represented at this gathering. Given the book’s move to include such topics as Research and Teaching Processes, Academic Contexts for Interdisciplinarity, and evaluation of interdisciplinary scholarship, we think this discussion can serve as an important and productive step in building shared understandings of interdisciplinary work among all the CRS programs.
Signing up to receive the book commits those requesting copies to participate in the discussion session on May 4. To sign up, contact Janet McGovern at jmcgove2@kennesaw.edu or extension 2431.

Februrary 24, 2009: “Misreading Masculinity: Boys, Literacy, and Popular Culture” Panel Discussion
Posted on 02/13/09
Should teachers encourage or discourage young boys’ reading of comic books and playing of video games? How worried should parents—and the larger society—be when boys write violent stories? These are some of the questions researchers, teachers, and parents are asking about young boys’ literacies these days. We invite you to join this conversation.
The Gender and Women’s Studies program at KSU continues to affirm its ongoing commitment to studies of masculinity and boys’ daily lives with an exciting event on February 24, 11:30-1:00, in KHE 1102.
A panel and audience discussion of boys’ literacy practices and popular culture, this session, co-sponsored by GWST and the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project, will draw on the expertise of several KSU faculty and staff who have expertise in this area:
Darren Crovitz, Assistant Professor of English, English Education program, English Dept.
Bryan Gillis, Assistant Professor, Secondary and Middle Grades Education
Percy Ivey, Assistant Manager, KSU Bookstore
Panelists will provide opening comments, ideas, and questions grounded partly in their reading of Thomas Newkirk’s ground-breaking book, Misreading Masculinity: Boys, Literacy, and Popular Culture.
Newkirk’s book takes a close look at young boys and their relationship to sports, movies, video games, and other dimensions of pop culture. Rather than demonizing pop culture media and activities such as video games, Newkirk asks how educators, parents and boys themselves can draw on the resources of popular culture for learning and positive constructions of masculinity.
Bring a brown bag lunch and share YOUR thoughts and questions too. Desserts and drinks will be provided.
