Marlen will chair a session at the 17th Annual Lavender Languages and Linguistics Conference

Identity & Voice: Locating the Lavender in Composition & Rhetorical Studies

Lavender Languages & Linguistics Conference (February 12–14, 2010)

This session seeks presentations that examine any aspect of the writing, re-writing, teaching writing, storytelling, and even performance processes through a lens that considers the significance of queer identities and voices. For example, in her essay "Who Am I?: Finding Identity & Voice in Composition", author Beverly Faryna explores her struggle as a student writer in search of her authentic voice: Considering the session topic, what is an authentic expression of queer voice? In what ways do queer voices emerge from, are substantiated by, or are perhaps absent from composition and rhetoric as disciplines or from the writing itself? How is queer sexuality read? What has been the significance of composition when considering the evolution of queer identity and vice versa? In short, this session asks "What's queer about composition and rhetoric?"
