Thursday Lunch
Academic Keynote by
Tom Reynolds, University of Minnesota:
"The Digital Manifesto
and Possibilities of Critique"
"I have been
asking my Writing Studies students to write in newer digital forms over
the past few years. One of my assignments, the “Digital Manifesto,” asks
students to engage in critique with concepts of multimodality underpinning
the project. But what are those possibilities, and does increasing the
number of modes really afford a better chance that students will carry
this off? I will ask the audience to think through the notion of critique
through the wide lens of this project in order to throw light on the move
to multimodal writing, a concern for all of us as teachers."

Friday Lunch
Creative Writing Keynote by
Heid Erdrich, Minnesota State University-Mankato:
"Writing the Chimeric Poem-Film Off the Page, Across Genre, and into New
Media"
"In the past few
years, I have begun creating first audio, web-based works, and now films
of my poems. My interests and culture lead me to work with Native
American visual artists and write about them. Eventually I began to push
the performance of poetry in new ways through media collaborations with
Native American visual artists. Please join me in a brief screening and
conversation about how I see these works drawing a new audience to poetry.
Together we will ask, but probably not answer, the question of what,
exactly, is a poem-film and how does it relate to writing?"
