Talk with your friends/colleagues about their AY 12-13 NIA experiences… Wesley Buerkle tackled a range of topics in his scholarly writings, including the 2012 Republican National Convention. He has multiple manuscripts being considered for publication by major journals, like “Kitchen porn, garden porn, and the form of consumptive rhetoric” under review at the Journal of American Culture. Plus, his research with Carrie Oliveira about college students’ reluctance to orally cite sources was funded by the ETSU Instructional Development Committee. This project has already yielded two manuscripts being readied for submission.
Pat Cronin performed in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman at the Kollectiv Theatre in Cork, Ireland. He even led a parade while there! Following its major run in Cork, the production travelled to Serbia. If you haven’t already, check out these links: http://issuu.com/doodlecreative/docs/spring_program_at_the_everyman -and-
