Bosch v Ball-Kell: Faculty May Have Lost Control Over Their Teaching Materials

Jeff Galin, Florida Atlantic University

The case of Barbara Bosch v Susan Ball-Kell and Ronald Rager Not Reported in F. Supp.2d, 2006 WL 258053 (C.D.Ill. August 31, 2006), 80 U.S.P.Q2d 1713 is one of the only cases in federal course since the 1976 revision of the Copyright statutes that directly addresses faculty ownership of teaching materials.  As a result, its findings have important implications for university faculty on issues of work for hire, the common law teacher exemption to work for hire, fair use, and intellectual property policies.  In this short article, I will not lay out the historical framework for these arguments, several of which I address in “Own Your Rights:  Know When Your University Can Claim Ownership of Your Work.”  Rather, I’ll offer enough context to understand the issues raised by this case to highlight its potential impact on ownership and control of faculty teaching materials in American universities.  

Case Background

Barbara Bosch brought a copyright infringement suit against the Susan Ball-Kell and a former university Dean, Karl Rager, based on their unauthorized copying and distribution of her pathology course materials.  In light of the Court’s reading of the teacher exception to the work-for-hire doctrine and the history of the University’s copyright policy, the Court denied the defendants’ summary judgment motion on claims of work made for hire.  The Court also denied summary judgment on a fair use defense so that “all facts and reasonable inferences” could be made in court where they could be fairly judged.  The judge did warn, however, that the plaintiff’s “ability to succeed on her infringement claim at trial is far from clear.”  Summary judgment was not awarded to Defense to Dismiss Contributory and Vicarious Infringement on the part of the former Dean because direct infringement by a primary infringer required additional findings of fact.  Until the fair use claim could be settled, direct infringement could not be establish.  The Court did award summary judgment on Plaintiffs Request for Damages and Injunctive Relief and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. 

While court documents before the jury trial and after are publicly available, a summary of the trial itself is not.  The following analysis is derived from public court documents, several documents collected from the plaintiff, and a personal interview with the plaintiff in the Spring of 2007. 

The full historical details that pressed Barbara Bosch to file suit against Susan Ball-Kell and Dean Karl Rager are worth noting but are beyond the scope of this case summary.  The record represents a story of outrageous treatment of Bosch, which led to a Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure report that censored the Dean for “interference with a department’s curriculum affairs,” creating “an environment hostile to intellectual enquiry and academic debate,” “attempting to isolate Dr. Bosch physically, by locking her out of her office and other department areas, and by ordering department staff not to communicate with her,” “casual disregard for the tenure system,” and “condoning of the use (and seemingly even of the purloining) of intellectual property of a faculty member for someone else’s use” (13).

Bosch filed for copyright on her pathology teaching materials and later filed a copyright lawsuit Ball-Kell and Dean Rager for materials that Ball-Kell continued to use under her own name after Bosch filed her claim.  Soon thereafter, Bosch resigned her position as Associate Professor and took a position at another medical school.  Before the case went to court, Dean Rager finished his term as Dean and Ball-Kell stopped teaching in the department. The University hired an extremely aggressive law firm to defend the case.  After multiple motions were filed and adjudicated, the case went to court. 

The jury found that Bosch owned two of three documents she claimed.  It also found, however, that the University had a right to use her course materials under fair use provisions.  She filed a motion for a new trial based on bad jury instructions, which was denied.

The University filed for compensation for all court fees of over half a million dollars.  The Court awarded the University half of the allowed fees, $256, 391.25 Not Reported in F.Supp.2d, 2007 WL 2994085 (C.D.Ill. Oct. 11, 2007), an amount on top of what she had already paid her own attorney for several years of legal work.  The case is in the final stages of settlement in March 2008.

Arguments

Two primary arguments concern faculty and their teaching materials:  1) whether Bosch should retain ownership of her teaching materials or whether they belong to the university as work for hire; and 2) Even if Bosch retains ownership, whether the university has fair use rights to them without her permission.

Copyright Ownership of teaching materials or Works for Hire?

The court ruling on “Works Made for Hire” appears to be the most definitive rejection of work for hire ownership in academia to date.  The Court held that “in an academic setting, an employee may be assigned to teach a particular course, but then is generally left to use his or her discretion to determine the focus of the topic, the way the topic is going to be approached, the direction of the inquiry, and the way that the material will ultimately be presented” Bosch v. Ball-Kell, No. 03-1408, 2006 WL 2548053, at 7 (C.D. Ill. Aug 31, 2006).  When the Defendants argued that “these cases apply solely to faculty publications for scholarly review or self-promotion,” the Court held that it “does not read the cases that narrowly,” but qualified that “Bosch does not rely solely on the case law.”  The Court found arguments of Weinstein v. University of Illinois and Hays v. Sony Corporation of America so compelling that it recognized the survival of the common law teacher exemption in the 1976 Copyright Act.  As a result, the Court deferred to language of the UIC Intellectual Property Policy, minutes concerning the implementation of the policy, the Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure report condemning Dean Rager’s behavior, and the American Association of University Professors Statement on Copyright to determine “legislative intent” of language in the policy.  This evidence proved that the term “class notes” included teaching materials such as course syllabi within the definition of Traditional Academic Copyrightable Works from the UIC IP policy.  This determination convinced the jury that Bosch owned two of the three sets of copyrighted materials that she had registered. 

Fair Use Defense Upheld for Use of Teaching Materials

While Bosch v Ball-Kell may have set a new standard for determining faculty ownership of their teaching materials at universities, its findings of fair use of those same materials has set what may be a new and troubling standard.  The defense asserted that even if the works in question could not be defined as Works Made for Hire, the Defendant’s use of the materials was fair use according to section 107 of the Copyright Act.  In the absence of a trial summary, I piece together below the decision on an affirmative fair use defense from the summary judgment hearing, “Plaintiff’s Motion for New Trial and to Alter or Amend Judgment,” and the Court’s response to combined “Plaintiff’s Motion” and “Defendants’ Rule 50 Motion to Direct Entry of Judgment.”  The jury decided that use of the materials was fair use based on the standard four-part test:

Character

There was no doubt that the works were for educational rather than commercial purposes.  The works were not deemed transformative in any way Cambell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 579 (1994), citing Harper & Row, 471 U.S. at 562.  In fact, evidence was presented that Bosch’s name was removed from the documents and replaced with Ball-Kell’s. In the Plaintiff’s Motion for a New Trial or Alter or Amend Judgment, the Court held that in a case like this which concerns educational purposes, “factor one will normally tilt in the defendant’s favor.” Nixivm Corp. v. Ross Institute, 364 F. 3d 471,477 (2nd Cir.2004), cer. denied, 543 U.S. 1000 (2004).  Summary judgment was not granted concerning “[e]vidence of bad faith conduct or predatory intent” Sony Corp. V. Universal City Studios., 464 U.S. 417, 448 (1984); Weissmann v. Freeman, 8a68 F.2d 1313, 1323 (2nd Cir. 1989).  Bad faith was not found, however, at trial.

Nature

The works in question were found to be largely factual and scientific in nature rather than creative, despite the fact that fair use “has not been traditionally recognized as a defense to charges of copying from an author’s as yet unpublished works” Not Reported in F. Supp.2d, 2006 WL 258053 (C.D.Ill. August 31, 2006), 80 U.S.P.Q2d 1713  

Amount

Defendants contended that their use of teaching materials was deminimus and insubstantial, amounting only to 21 pages.  This claim proved convincing because ownership to the third set of materials was awarded to the University by the jury.  Despite the fact that Bosch’s former Chair gave her the “General Pathology Course Introduction” with the intent to transfer copyright, the jury was convinced that documents in question were developed by her former Chair “specifically for the University’s General Pathology Course in the scope of Dr. Bartlett’s employment and had been given to students in that course for many years” Defendants’ Rule 50 Motion to Direct Entry of Judgment as a Matter of Law and Plaintffi’s Motion for a New Trial and to Alter or Amend Judgment Not Reported in F. Supp.2d, 2007 WL 2572383 (C.D.Ill. Aug 29, 2007). 

Impact on Market

Bosch contested that the “Court erred in instructing the jury to find in favor of Defendants on factor four of the fair use defense . . .” because “she was entitled to an instruction allowing the jury to determine whether unrestricted and widespread conduct of the sort engaged in by Defendants would result in a substantially adverse impact on the potential market for the original.  Not Reported in F.Supp.2d, 2007 WL 2572383 (C.D.Ill. Aug. 29, 2007).  The Court held that Bosch made no attempt to publish these works, and the Defendants used the works in the same way as Bosch for classroom purposes.  Furthermore, “Bosch fails to acknowledge the fact that there was no evidence produced at trial from which a reasonable jury could have discerned any impact on the potential market or value of the works.  Therefore, the question of harm or market for the works would amount only to “rank speculation.”

Implications for Ownership of Teaching Materials

1) The extraordinary summary of works made for hire, the assertion that the teaching exemption for works in academia survived the 1976 Copyright Act, and the reliance on university intellectual property policies with emphasis on legislative intent make this case a must read for any ownership dispute of teaching materials at a university.  Unless, there are explicit statements in letters of appointment or other official university policies, this case suggests that faculty may typically own copyrights in their teaching materials.  Furthermore, this case reminds us how important it is for us all to read carefully our institutions’ intellectual property policies and to know how key terms are defined such as Substantial University Support, Traditional Works of Scholarship, Instructional Works, and Institutional Works (see Own Your Rights for a full analysis of IP policies). 

2) On the other hand, this case alerts faculty that universities may have rights that enable them to use some of our teaching materials without our permission even if we own the copyrights outright.  Some universities have formalized this relationship by “unbundling” intellectual property rights for teaching materials by retaining perpetual licenses for use while faculty retain other rights.  Many programs desire such rights to insure consistency and continuity of academic programs.  This case also suggests that publishing teaching materials, documented plans to use them in research or a textbook, or other demonstration of market value can give faculty greater control of their teaching materials if a dispute arises over them. 

3) It behooves us all to note further the chilling effect this case has on future litigation over these issues.  The emotional, financial, and professional costs of such litigation are devastating.  Universities that threaten litigation can point to this case to coerce faculty into controlling contracts or unfair practices.  Bosch was motivated to pursue her rights, but has paid dearly for them.  It is unlikely that such a case will move through the Federal courts for quite some time. 

For all of these reasons, Bosch v. Ball-Kell may become a landmark case like Weinstein, Hays, and Cambell.  It has certainly provided us with ample reasons to know our rights over our teaching materials.

One Laptop Per Child Program Threatens Dominance of Intel and Microsoft

Kim Dian Gainer, Radford University

Overview

For the past three years, several companies and organizations have been competing over what model to follow in making computer hardware and software available to primary and secondary students in the developing world.  The outcome of this competition may have a serious effect upon the question of whether open source software will make inroads against the Microsoft operating system that is installed in the vast majority of computers.

Background

In 2005 Nicholas Negroponte, co-founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory, announced the formation of the nonprofit One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation, an organization dedicated to the goal of placing a low-cost laptop in the hands of each child in participating developing nations.  The foundation proposed to develop a rugged laptop that would be sold in bulk to nations that would distribute units to individual students.  It was the intention of the foundation to keep the cost of each unit in the range of one-hundred dollars.  That goal was not realized, and the projected price of each unit was approximately two-hundred dollars when mass production began in November of 2007.  However, the technical goals of the project have been met.  The XO (if you turn the logo sideways, O upwards, it is supposed to look like a child with limbs outstretched) is based on an Advanced Micro Devices processor, and its software, provided by Red Hat, is a version of the open source—and free—Linux system.  Built in are a camera and microphone, and it comes equipped with a memory-card slot, a graphics tablet, and a game-pad controller.  Its screen rotates so that it can be used as a tablet.   It is enabled for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and even in the absence of an internet connection, the computers link with each other as part of a ‘mesh network’ that is established automatically whenever one XO is turned on in the vicinity of another.  (The internet connection is also automatic.)  It is light, weighing a little more than three pounds, in part because the need for a fan has been engineered out of it.  Its battery will last for six hours and can be recharged by a pull cord.  Both its screen and the system by which it is powered incorporate what many industry analysts consider to be breakthrough technology.

However impressive its technological specifications, foremost in the minds of the developers was the need to make the laptop suitable for use in developing nations.  The XO was designed to be energy efficient because it is intended for use in a market where electricity may be limited.  It also was designed for an environment in which conditions may be harsh and technical support lacking.  It has a sealed keyboard and is intended to be spillproof and impervious to rain and dust.  It may be dropped from a height of five feet without suffering damage.  Impressed by its suitability for use by children in developing nations, the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum included the XO in its exhibit of affordable inventions intended to address Third World needs in the areas of shelter, health, water, education, energy, and transport.

The Struggle for Market Share

Initially, the technical appeal of the XO was not sufficient to entice many nations to participate in the project.  When mass production began, the OLPC Foundation was certain of only one order: 100,000 units destined for Uruguay.  To achieve the necessary economy of scale, the Foundation then adopted a “get one give one” model that was in force for the final two months of 2007.  Consumers in developed nations would purchase two computers for four-hundred dollars, one to be delivered to the purchaser, the other to be delivered to a student in a developing nation.

In the opinion of some observers, developing nations may have been reluctant to order the laptop because for-profit companies were actively seeking to discourage the mass adoption of an open source product that was not Windows compatible and did not rely upon an Intel chip and thus had the potential to devalue proprietary software and hardware.  For companies such as Windows and Intel, the stakes may be very high.  The potential market targeted by the OLPC program is huge, consisting of two billion students in developing nations.  If the OLPC program were to succeed in placing low-cost laptops in the hands of these children, for-profit corporations would not only forfeit immediate sales of laptops and bundled software; the students participating in the program might grow into adult consumers familiar with alternatives to Windows software and Intel chips.

For-profit companies, in particular Microsoft and Intel, appear to have taken a three-fold approach toward discouraging the mass adoption of the XO.  First, industry spokesmen ‘talked down’ the project.  Craig Barrett, the chairman of Intel, was quoted as calling the XO a “$100 gadget” (Johnson), and Microsoft’s Bill Gates repeatedly raised doubts about the suitability of the XO for children in developing nations.  The most egregious incident, however, probably took place after Peru agreed to participate in the program.  Shortly afterward, an Intel representative visited a Peruvian official and roundly criticized the XO—this in spite of the fact that Intel had only a few months prior signed on to the project and pledged financial support for it.  This incident caused a bitter public breach between Intel and the OLPC Foundation that included the resignation from the board of the Foundation of an Intel executive who had taken a seat on the board only a few months earlier. 

Companies have also introduced competing laptops.  Asus Computer International of Taiwan has had some success with individual sales of its Eee PC, sold at prices that range from two-hundred to four-hundred dollars, and reports that it is in negotiations to sell bulk orders to governments in both developed and developing nations.  The Eee PC is a retail brand of Intel’s Classmate PC mini-laptop that is being sold at a price of between two-hundred and three-hundred dollars.  Unlike Asus Computer, Intel markets the Classmate PC only to governments, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations and thus has positioned its laptop as a direct competitor to the OLPC’s XO.  Moreover, OLPC’s Negroponte has accused Intel of offering the Classmate at below cost in order to undercut sales of the XO.

Finally, for-profit companies have sought to derail the project by offering software and services that encourage the purchase of competing laptops.  In certain developing nations, Windows offers governments and schools a software bundle at a cost of $ 3 per unit, turning its software into a loss leader for the sale of Windows-compatible hardware.  As for Intel, it has initiated what it calls the “World Ahead” program,

a strategy to increase the use of computer technology in developing countries. For example, Intel’s Rural Connectivity Platform project is working on ways to extend the range of WiFi wireless networking from a few hundred feet to a dozen or more miles. Such a WiFi system could deliver cheap Internet access to remote villages, and make it easy to put the Classmate laptops online. It would also give everyone in the village an incentive to buy more computers, most of them loaded with Intel chips.  (Bray, Nov. 14, 2007)

OLPC Fights Back

Negroponte had always been outspoken in defending the OLPC program, and following the revelation that Intel had sought to interfere with the Foundation’s contract with Peru, he went on a verbal offensive.  In addition, as mentioned above, the program initiated the “get one give one” program.  Advanced Micro Devices and Red Hat continued to stand behind the program, as did other entities, such as Google.  The Foundation entered into an agreement with the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund to place UNICEF-generated educational content on the laptops.  By March of 2008, orders of the XO were verging on the half a million mark.  Countries participating, in addition to Uruguay and Peru, include Rwanda, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico, and Mongolia.  Meanwhile, Intel has been unable to sell as many of its Classmates PCs as it had anticipated.  By the end of 2007, Libya and Nigeria had signed orders for approximately 170,00 of the laptop, but Intel has suffered significant bad press as a result of its attempt to sabotage sales of the XO to Peru. 

Implications

Interestingly, orders for the XO now include 15,000 for schools in Birmingham, Alabama.  Designed for developing nations, the XO has nonetheless found a small market in the United States.  This development may presage a long term threat to Intel’s and Windows’ dominance of the computer and software market in developed nations.  At the moment, however, the battle is for control of emerging markets in the developing world.  In a move that may be an acknowledgement that a low-cost open source laptop would interfere with its attempts to penetrate and dominate this market, Microsoft is now pressing the OLPC Foundation to modify the XO so that it will run Windows XP.  However, the requested modifications would raise the cost of the laptop, and the Foundation has declined to alter the design of its laptop.

In addition to raising the price of the XO, the requested modifications would run counter to the Foundation’s vision of children as independent thinkers in control of the learning environment.  The XO is designed so that children themselves can service the computer.  The battery, for example, is easily replaced.  Similarly, the Foundation has embraced open source software not only for reasons of cost but also because its transparency, it was hoped, would encourage children to create their own programs or modify existing ones.  As one reviewer wrote,

The OLPC is designed to follow the “constructionist” theory of education (where children learn by doing and experiencing), which means that its creators wanted every level of the machine to be tinkerable, explorable and configurable by a curious child. Both Microsoft and Apple offered their operating systems for free for the project, but were turned down in preference to open software that could be manipulated and improved upon by the OLPC’s own users.  (O’Brien)

That such tinkering within an open source environment may threaten the dominance of proprietary software was illustrated by a project undertaken by a group of hackers at the Twenty-third Chaos Communication Convention held in Berlin in January of 2007.  These hackers set out to enable an XO to play Flash content without the use of Adobe’s proprietary Flash software.  Among the group was Rob Savoy, “the creator of Gnash, a free reimplementation of Flash” that was “painstakingly coded by developers who’ve never agreed to Adobe’s licence [sic]” (O’Brien).  After several hours, Savoy and his compatriots were playing Flash movies on the XO without ever having installed Flash.  Not only would their additions to the XO’s open source software allow children to watch Flash; the modifications would also allow youngsters to create Flash-compatible content.

In spite of a recent upsurge in orders for the XO, it is much too soon to tell whether the OLPC Foundation will succeed in its goal of placing laptops in the hands of significant numbers of children in developing nations.  However, if the Foundation does meet its goal, the above scenario suggests that control over computer applications may shift as proprietary software is bypassed by users who create their own programs or modify existing ones.  For this reason, in the coming year, Microsoft and Intel will no doubt continue to battle to prevent the XO or similar open source computers from establishing a foothold in a market potentially so profitable.

Top Intellectual Property Developments of 2007 for Scholars of Composition, Rhetoric, and Communication

Introduction

Clancy Ratliff, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Co-Chair, 2008 CCCC Intellectual Property Caucus

The year 2007 carried quite a few key developments for those who follow issues and debates related to copyright and intellectual property. For the third year running, then, the CCCC Intellectual Property Committee is pleased to publish this annual report in the service of our first goal, to “keep the CCCC and NCTE memberships informed about intellectual property developments, through reports in the CCCC newsletter and in other NCTE and CCCC forums.”

In assuming the editorship of this year’s collection, I have chosen to implement two changes which I believe embody the values of the Caucus and the IP Committee. First, I have licensed the collection under a Creative Commons license. This license allows readers to use the collection beyond the boundaries of fair use, provided the collection is not used for commercial purposes, the authors of the articles are credited, and no derivative works are made. One exception to the condition regarding derivative works concerns modifications for purposes of accessibility. Readers can, for example, create an audio recording of the collection or increase and change the font for the visually impaired. The main purpose for the Creative Commons license is to enable cross-publishing of the collection in a variety of online publication venues. I also hope that readers find the collection useful for the classroom. This collection may be reprinted in course packs or archived on course web sites under the terms of the Creative Commons license.

The second change I have made is to make the collection available in Open Document Format. In the past, the collection has been published in html and pdf format, as it is this year, but I am also publishing it as an .odt file, which can be opened in at least two open source word processing programs: OpenOffice and NeoOffice. I am uploading the file in .odt format as a public acknowledgment of the IP Caucus’s growing awareness of software as intellectual work and open source software as intellectual work that is free and open for all to use and build upon.

Abstract:

I analyze the public and professional discourse of learning disability, arguing that medical models of literacy misdirect teaching by narrowing its focus to remediation. This insight about teaching is not new; resurgent demands for behaviorist pedagogies make understanding their continuing appeal important to composition studies.

Abstract:

The fiftieth anniversary issue of CCC included a call from Geneva Smitherman for compositionists to renew the fight for language rights. In this article, we take up Smitherman’s call by situating the theory of language rights in composition studies in a brief history of rights rhetoric in the United States.

Abstract:

This article examines the contradictory representations of whiteness in the literature on critical pedagogy and argues that a deeper engagement with these contradictions can help critical educators in their work with white students. The essay explores a number of sites: the rhetoric of critical pedagogy, the literature on whiteness that has surfaced in the past five years: and concludes by analyzing portraits of white students as they read texts that challenge them to think about race and racial identity in new ways.

Abstract:

In this article, we identify in the formation of U.S. college composition courses a tacit policy of English monolingualism based on a chain of reifications of languages and social identity. We show this policy continuing in assumptions underlying arguments for and against English Only legislation and basic writers. And we call for an internationalist perspective on written English in relation to other languages and the dynamics of globalization.

Abstract:

To the extent that rhetoric and writing studies bases its theories and pedagogies on the self-present composing subject: the figure of the writer who exists apart from the writing context, from the “world,” from others: it is anti-communitarian. Communication can take place only among beings who are given over to the “outside,” exposed, open to the other’s effraction. This essay therefore calls for the elaboration of a “communitarian” literacy that understands reading and writing as functions of this originary sociality, as expositions not of who one is (identity) but of the fact that “we” are (community).

Abstract:

The Conduit Metaphor has been roundly condemned by language scholars, including scholars in rhetoric and composition, but it is time to reevaluate its import and value. Rather than simply asserting a mistaken view of linguistic communication, the Conduit Metaphor combines with the metaphor Language Is Power to form a prudentially applied ethical measure of discourses, genres, and texts.

Abstract:

In early Methodism John Wesley created an extracurricular site of literacy and rhetoric that empowered women and the working classes to read, write, and speak in public. Wesley’s “method” of literacy in community not only transformed religious life in Britain but also redefined the intersections of education, class, and gender.

Beason, Larry. “Ethos and Error: How Business People React to Errors.” CCC. 53.1 (2001): 33-64.

Abstract:

Errors seem to bother nonacademic readers as well as teachers. But what does it mean to be “bothered” by errors? Questions such as this help transform the study of error from mere textual issues to larger rhetorical matters of constructing meaning. Although this study of fourteen business people indicates a range of reactions to errors, the findings also reveal patterns of qualitative agreement: certain ways in which these readers constructed a negative ethos of the writer.

Abstract:

I argue that our responses to the Oakland ebonics resolution miss what made the resolution so significant while also making debate about it so intractable. I propose that compositionists who acknowledge attitudes that made the resolution so significant can productively engage the larger public regarding literacy education in a racially divided democracy.

Abstract:

This chair’s address to the 52nd Annual Convention of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, March 2001, draws on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins to explore and celebrate a life in composition. Acknowledging institutional fatigue, I outline possibilities for individual renewal, particularly through the process of mentoring new members. Ending with a convention poem, I invite readers to compose their own.

Abstract:

While our field’s response practices have changed dramatically over the past two decades to involve more student comments on their own texts, empirical studies have lagged far behind classroom practices, focusing almost exclusively on teachers’ written comments as texts. By broadening our notion of response: and acknowledging the many and varied ways that teachers respond to student writing as well as the many and varied ways that students influence and interpret those responses: we will be able to narrow the gap between our teaching practices and our research questions.

Abstract:

In a culture where adult play is divorced from work and often experienced as commodified leisure, the Internet has introduced the play element into student and corporate work cultures. English studies enact the work/play split in the historic divisions between rhetoric and poetic, and instrumental and literary writing. How composition instructors approach computer-mediated communication can either challenge or reinforce the work/play split. Synchronous computer conferencing, a venue that often fosters play and conflict, can yield productive moments of carnivalesque discourse through which students can move from “contained” to “disruptive” or politically and personally significant underlife. This essay examines a series of InterChange transcripts to demonstrate how discourse that combines serious and playful purposes works to provoke and mediate conflict. Students use serio-ludic discourse to critique and to negotiate power relations and gendered subject positions with both positive and negative results.

Abstract:

This study examines composition at public Midwestern normal schools, the teacher training institutions of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. It argues that the unique social environment, educational aims, and intellectual traditions of the normal school gave rise to attitudes about composition theory, methods, teachers, and students that are much more compatible with composition’s contemporary ethic than those associated with the elite Eastern colleges where the origins of composition have most often been studied.

Abstract:

Silence has positive as well as negative attributes, and composition teachers can help students understand and use its aesthetic, ethical, and political resources in their personal writing. Approaching silence in these ways can establish new alignments among the expressivist, psychoanalytical, and social discourses that circulate around the term personal writing.

Abstract:

This article examines Black student responses to Black Panther Party documents and how those documents moved the students toward change. I maintain that by allowing the classroom to function as a public space in which students can discuss the issues that matter to them, teachers can help to foster and encourage student activism and ultimately their empowerment.

Abstract:

Classroom assignments, especially papers, often serve as the catalyst for many of the interactions that take place between Black male students and white faculty. This essay identifies some of the pitfalls that contribute to the breakdown of communication between white faculty and Black male students during interactions over student writing; it points out the behaviors that both constrain and facilitate these interactions, and it offers suggestions for how faculty can improve their interactions with this population of students. The essay concludes with suggestions for improving faculty awareness of how racial dynamics impact student/faculty interactions over student writing.

Abstract:

In this story I listen closely to the ways in which two late nineteenth-century American Indian intellectuals, Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins and Charles Alexander Eastman, use the discourses about Indian-ness that circulated during that time period in order to both respond to that discourse and to reimagine what it could mean to be Indian. This use, I argue, is a critical component of rhetorics of survivance.

Abstract:

Anderson advocates for reflection on the ethical treatment of research subjects and ethical usage of person-based research data, citing such research as constituting a substantial portion of current composition literature. He also cites the vulnerability of subjects whose unpublished words and actions scholars document: students, colleagues, family members and strangers alike. He calls for a discipline-wide discourse on research ethics and compliance with federal regulations on qualitative and quantitative human subject research.

Abstract:

Yancey and Spooner enact their version of collaborative writing using changes in font and text placement to distinguish authors and create multivalent, multivocal presences in their essay. They dialogically work their way through the literature on writerly collaboration and suggest that there are multiple possible enactments of collaboration existing on a continuum from culturally-influenced individual to co-creative, integrated collaborations of peers.

Abstract:

Janangelo’s narrative about student use of hypertextual arguments to fulfill traditional academic discourse assignments point to the lack of “safe and flexible environment[s]” (26) for teacher and student to collaboratively develop new, acceptable persuasive discourse forms. His intent is to highlight the rhetorical skill involved in composing a persuasive hypertext, grounding his argument in the twentieth-century collage work of artist Joseph Cornell, and to suggest ways to “support students’ prefigurative literacy activities” (28).

Abstract:

Clark’s essay moves the teaching of writing from metaphors of rhetoric as “territories” and “places” (i.e., discourse “communities”) to metaphors of “travel” in order to describe rhetoric’s transformative operations across boundaries of discourse communities. Complicating notions of “stable” discourse communities and locations, he suggests that acts of writing and reading must exist in the spaces in between the “territories,” teaching students to “travel effectively across as many boundaries as possible, forming collectives [of] interacting writers and readers in….expansive space” (12).

Abstract:

Occasioned by the recent epidemic of violence in schools and the author’s memory of violent schoolyard rhymes, this essay explores the ways students experience contemporary writing pedagogy. To do so, the essay ranges from rhetoric’s historical discussion of the pleasures of writing to composition’s more recent interest in academic professionalism to Gilles Deleuze’s theory of masochism to the problem of teaching and learning in a consumer culture.

Abstract:

Drawing on classroom experiences, the author suggests that philosopher Donald Davidson’s interpretive principle of charity can help explain why communication is impoverished or even impossible in classrooms governed by traditional, authoritarian practices that form a “pedagogy of severity.” If the classroom is to be a place of dialogue, learning, and mutual transformation, teachers should promote a “pedagogy of charity,” which assumes that students are rational beings with mostly true and coherent beliefs.

Abstract:

In the literature of critical pedagogy, resistance theory analyzes, ranks, and judges the emancipatory value of writing behaviors, privileging nonreproductive and transformative consciousness over cultural reproduction. The ranking of consciousness and the central metaphor of “reproduction” too often are naïvely applied, suppressing the political, social, and pedagogical value of writing that develops from within contradictory consciousness.

Abstract:

Analyzing postmodern theory, course discussion, and student texts, this article argues that womanist theology and the texts it gathers can serve as efficacious course content for other-literate students. Womanist theology offers students a scholarly discipline that expresses inter- and intracultural rhetorical awareness, bridging the gap between home and school literacy functions.
