Panel 1
CLASP 2009
Urban Dreams and Realities.
The City University of New York has long been an institution where all New Yorkers could come to pursue their educational goals, to realize their potential, to fulfill their dreams. As we move into the coming decade, CUNY is faced with new realities--a changing student population, an uncertain economy, a turbulent political environment. The 2010 CLASP colloquium will be a place where communication educators will explore the many ways public speech at CUNY, both in the classroom and administratively, helps our city face the complex future of an urban institution of higher education.
Panel 2Do I have to write a paper?
No, prepare an interesting oral presentation, just as you would have students do in your own classroom.
If I want to present, what are my options?
We want to hear about your research activity or publications, your best teaching practices, and especially anything that you are doing to take speech across the curriculum ands outside of the academy. We are also open to proposals for issue-focused roundtables or other non-traditional formats.
Panels will be organized around the following broad areas:
Current inquiry in speech communication (e.g., articles and/or books at various stages of completion). Sharing research and thought can provide you with valuable feedback and insights.
Best approaches to teaching speech communication (e.g., grading scales, course designs, effective materials, assignments, activities). We` all face similar barriers and bottlenecks in teaching; share your solutions so that others can profit.
Building community across the curriculum and outside of academia (e.g., working across departments, working with businesses or nonprofits to offer a better speech education). Share your efforts and partnerships. We also welcome presentations that explore broader dynamics within CUNY, changes across time, comparisons of different campus programs, and relationships with CUNY administration.
