S241. Cross-Talk in Creative Writing Pedagogy

Monument, Marriott Marquis, Meeting Level Four

3:00 pm to 4:15 pm

 

Nearly forty years ago, Wendy Bishop tried to initiate “cross-talk” between rhetoric/composition and creative writing, applying the pedagogies of the former to the largely untheorized practices of the latter. But today, creative writing still has a disconnect between those who teach it and those who theorize the teaching. This panel will renew the call for “cross-talk,” exploring how rhet/comp can influence our teaching while also asking if “blind spots” exist.
