ALECC: September 2010
http://aleccanada.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Literature / environment / culture / canada. Thursday, September 16, 2010. Finding Our Way (documentary). In our disparate places across Canada and other countries (hi, Beth Giddens. We're all regularly attending really interesting events: conferences, but also one-off sessions. If you think that ALECC's members might want to hear about something you attend, why not ask. If you can post a summary or comment here? Tonight, for example, I dragged my brother-in-law along to Leonie Sandercock's presentation.

ALECC: ALECC 2010, literary gala
http://aleccanada.blogspot.com/2010/08/alecc-2010-literary-gala.html
Literature / environment / culture / canada. Thursday, August 19, 2010. ALECC 2010, literary gala. Admittedly, it wasn't billed as a gala, and it was run casually enough that it really couldn't be considered one - I mean, what sort of gala serves only chili and vegetable soup as the main food attractions? But in any case look for the powerful "Apocalypso"). The thus-far-non-major poets were warmly received as well:. Local rock star Lahey won over the crowd with three quite distinct poems, ranging from on...

Art History Diva: First Day
http://arthistorydiva.blogspot.com/2009/01/first-day.html
Reflections on teaching art history, visual culture, and women's studies. Monday, January 19, 2009. Classes start this week and I am not ready. Again. Once course, I am teaching for a second time so the big challenge there is simply deciding what I like and what I should cut. It's just that there is so much. I could include. Why not put it all in?

Art History Diva: The 'A' Word ... Assessment
http://arthistorydiva.blogspot.com/2008/12/a-word-assessment.html
Reflections on teaching art history, visual culture, and women's studies. Sunday, December 28, 2008. The 'A' Word . Assessment. I found this post by Christopher Vilmar - "Exams and Regrets". Via The Long Eighteenth. What I always find myself spiraling back to is assessment (and it's not just because my campus is currently obsessed with it): to test or not to test? Should students just do projects and write papers and essays? Or do they need tests? Still working that one out. January 7, 2009 at 11:28 PM.

ALECC: The Conference in Review
http://aleccanada.blogspot.com/2010/08/conference-in-review.html
Literature / environment / culture / canada. Thursday, August 26, 2010. The Conference in Review. I had high hopes of blogging throughout the conference, but I was too busy enjoying the conference and the surrounding landscape of Cape Breton to be on the computer! I know a "highlights" post after the fact isn't quite the same, but here goes. The conference kicked off with Thursday afternoon field trips. We selected to go on a tour of the Syndey Tar ponds reclamation site. The sessions on Friday and Satur...

ALECC: Conferencing and the new eco-reality
http://aleccanada.blogspot.com/2010/10/conferencing-and-eco-reality.html
Literature / environment / culture / canada. Friday, October 8, 2010. Conferencing and the new eco-reality. We said before, during and after the 2010 ALECC conference in Sydney. The same things that we said before, during and after the 2009 ASLE conference. That said, I can see a few different approaches we might take to helping this come to pass:. First, we can follow the lead of the Network in Canadian History and Environment ( NiCHE. To sustain conversations across long distances. I suspect that we'll...
