Doug, i am a doctoral candidate in the Faculty ofEducation at SFU, and janet giltrow ismy senior supervisor, and I am jsut now finishing teaching the writing course tha Rick Coe developed (Eng 371 - Writng Theory and practice) I have also served as the course marker for an on-line compostion course for teachers of writing through the Faculty of Education and theCentre for Distance Education at Simon Frasser University. Your course sounds interesting ( reflective practice) - with community based care - My MA thesis explored the politics of "writing up" in a mental health boarding home and in that document I explored the need for a critically reflexive awareness about institutional textual practices. My dissertation is surrently exploring the development of a "reflexive genre" with a group of Feminist Literacy workers who wrote and shared a "travelling journal" across a range of geographical and institutional settings. if you think I would be a suitable candidate - I would be pleased to pass along my CV. cheers Kathryn Alexander >I'm putting out feelers for someone who might be interested in teaching >a quarter course in writing for the University of Calgary's >long-distance rehab studies program at Douglas College. > >Rehabilitation Studies has a Community of Learners program that features >cohorts of learners in various places in the country.
