CCCC(Conference on College Composition and Communication) Feminist Workshop: Crosscurrents in Feminism: Building Coalitions, Sharing Knowledges and Pedagogies, Shaping Networks Organizers: Lisa Costello, Layne Craig, Jennifer Fallas, Allison Gross, Emily Hoeflinger, Erin Hurt, Jessica Ketcham-Weber Keynotes/Speakers: Theme: The 2002 anthology Disciplining Feminism: From Social Activism to Academic Discourse suggests that the divide that has persisted in feminist scholarship between activism and intellectualism results from divergent ways of defining change-- change as something to be debated or shaped. These discussions have often highlighted the disjuncture between various feminist groups and forms of feminism within the academy, as well as the uneasy relationship between academics and activism. Such disjunctures, however, are also productive and can signal the ways in which academia and the community might continue to dialogue. This workshop seeks to analyze these disjunctures as productive difference and to interrogate their implications in the creation of feminist coalitions, pedagogies, and mentorships. We would like to address the theoretical and practical roles of feminists in the academic community in shaping feminism's dedication to change-- as a movement and a discourse-- that crosses and negotiates the currents of difference. Suggested Topics: Additionally, this workshop asks participants to frame and respond to questions such as the following:
