KRISTIE S. FLECKENSTEIN, associate professor, joined the FSU faculty in Fall 2006. Her recent book, Embodied Literacies: Imageword and a Poetics of Teaching, was the recipient of the 2005 Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Book of the Year Award. She has published more than 40 articles and book chapters on subjects that cluster around her research interests of visuality and rhetoric, feminist theory, and composition pedagogy. Her current work explores the connections between early photography and writing pedagogy in the 19th century. She also co-edits with Linda Calendrillo JAEPL: Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning, which has been selected by NCTE as a featured affiliate journal for the past nine years.
In preparation for the workshop, we’re asking that you read, and be prepared to discuss, Fleckenstein's article, "Words Made Flesh: Fusing Imagery and Language in a Polymorphic Literacy.” As usual, we’ll begin with a talk (she’ll be jumping off from this article), and then do something hands-on.
Note that we have a few other events scheduled—look for the email on the “Teaching Network” initiative in the next week or so. -Kathleen Kelly, Director of Writing Programs
