Chelóna RSA is excited to announce the launch of our reading group! On March 7 at 2PM in Tawes 2115, we will be meeting to discuss Steph Ceraso’s 2014 College English article, “(Re)Educating the Senses: Multimodal Listening, Bodily Learning, and the Composition of Sonic Experiences.”
Steph Ceraso will be joining us to discuss her work and answer any questions!
Steph Ceraso, an Assistant Professor at UMBC, is the 2015 recipient of the Richard Ohmann Outstanding Article in College English Award. To whet your appetite, here’s what the award committee said about Ceraso’s article: “The judges found Professor Ceraso’s essay fresh, timely, and engaging—a piece that will have an impact on the field for its vision and accessibility. Her essay, woven throughout with connections to pedagogy and composition, pushes the boundaries of multimodal composition as Professor Ceraso challenges us to reimagine how soundscapes can change the writing classroom—that is how we can incorporate ‘productive, quality sonic experiences’ that build on students’ past experiences.”
You may access the article via our members page or the College English website.
**Access note: The meeting will be held in Tawes 2115, the Faculty Lounge on the second floor. When you enter Tawes from the front of the building (the side facing Anne Arundel Hall), you may take the stairs straight ahead or take the elevator down the hall on the right. Once you are on the second floor, turn left toward the Grad Office. Room 2115 is the first room down the hallway. I am happy to share that the basement floor of Tawes now has two gender-inclusive accessible bathrooms and a lactation room. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns related to accessibility.**
