Rachel Corrie Award For Courage In The Teaching Of Writing
Call For Nominations ...In making this award,...to encourage writing teachers early in their careers to take on research, pedagogy, and service projects that promote commitment to peace, justice, and human dignity--even when hazarding the ire of deans, chairs, editors, bulldozers and hiring and review committee
[this should, but doesn’t, include people willing to write about Islamofascism at, oh say, Columbia or to write about dhimmitude or honor killings or female genital mutilation or the influence of CAIR in any university with a Moslem student association].
There will be one $500 cash award to an individual and up to two smaller awards to individuals or groups. The prizes will be presented at the PSCC Annual Event at CCCC in San Antonio in March, 2004--...

Nomination deadline: January 5, 2004.

#6  A writing award? I don't get it. St. Rachel is famous for her geometry, not her writing.

BTW, has anyone else noticed chainey tooling around The Undisclosed Location in that snazzy yellow Cat D9?
