Writer, Professor, and Everything Else
Before writing this post, I looked through what I wrote last year about the CCCCs in St. Louis and in a lot of ways, this CCCCs in Las Vegas was remarkably similar to that CCCCs: my semester/year is/has been complicated, I went to some okay panels, stayed at kind of a crappy hotel, etc., etc. …
My semester has been complicated, mostly by a search that is still not completed, some teaching challenges, and some department poly-ticks I won’t be describing in any great detail. So in a lot of ways, the CCCCs this year was more of a distraction than an event for me, and it was a rapid and …
Here’s a link to the Google Sites page I’ve set up for my CCCCs in St. Louis talk, “Amateur Auteurs: The Problems of Teaching and Assessing Multimedia in Writing Classes Amateur Auteurs: The Challenge of Producing and Publishing Multimedia Scholarship in Writing Studies.” I’m setting it up on a Google Sites page mostly because I am …
My tongue is firmly packed into my gift-horse mouth with this post, but go figure! First comes news that my proposal for the CCCCs in St. Louis was accepted. It’s a talk (or something?

As I have discussed in the past, my recent record at getting stuff in at the Conference for College Composition and Communication has been bad. But I was in this year and had a grand time. I saw some good talks, got to connect with a lot of old friends and EMU students, played with …
I think I’ve finished with a draft of my CCCC 2010 presentation. That’s a link to the web-based version of my talk that I’ll be giving next week; it’s not the same as actually “being there” of course, and I suspect I’ll be tweaking this in the next few days. I’m reasonably happy with this, …
Strangely, I received another email about the CCC Online and CCCC MemberWeb. Though my sense is I am not the only one who got this not very personal email from Chuck Bazerman. Here it is, in its entirety: April 8, 2009 Dear Steven Krause, We need your vision and commitment to lead us into our …
