#SCREENTIME: Technological Affordances and Constraints in Mediated Life
GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE

The graduate students of Boston University’s Division of Emerging MediaStudies are calling for abstracts for their second annual Conference on Emerging Media.

#Screentime aims to explore the social, emotional, and civic implications of today’s media landscape. Social forces and technological elements are driving changes in this developing field of study. This conference is an opportunity to bridge diverse perspectives on the roles of users and technology in new media, and will lay the groundwork for future research.

Emerging Media Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary field, and as such we welcome abstracts from a variety of perspectives and disciplines on a range of topics, including but not limited to:

Civility, sub-cultures, and online discourse
Uses and effects of mobile communication technologies
Digital distribution and industry disruptionData mining of social networksEmerging technologies’ effects on users
Video games and virtual worldsDigital communication and public health

The conference is free of charge to both presenters and attendees. This conference is aimed at graduate students to showcase their research, and as an opportunity to network with peers.

Deadline for Abstracts: May 1, 2016. Please submit abstracts of no more than 300 words. Papers will be peer reviewed. To submit, please send an e-mail of your abstract to demsconf@bu.edu. Include your name and institutional affiliation (department/university), program and year of study, research focus/interests, and contact information (email and phone number) with all submissions. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance on a rolling basis no later than June 1, 2016.

Title: “The Hardest Part was Writing the Songs, but the Easiest Part was Motivation”: Music-Centered Pedagogy in the College Composition Classroom

This qualitative teacher-researcher study examines the benefits of providing students in a first-year English composition course opportunities to use music of their own choosing in two major ways: 1) as the inspiration for and subject of alphabetic texts, and 2) as a major element of multimodal compositions. Through the presentation and discussion of classroom artifacts, student reflections, and field notes, I demonstrate that encouraging students to use music in composing assignments helped instill in them a sense of motivation and confidence that not only translated into a greater sense of self- efficacy in relation to classroom assignments, but also resulted in students’ increased desire to engage in self-sponsored composing activities. In addition to exploring the positive effects the integration of music into a composition class had on students’ motivation, I reveal how music-centered lesson plans and assignments can be used to help students consider how texts are assembled and organized, and enable them to identify and apply rhetorical terms and concepts. Additionally, urging students to use or create music as part of multimodal compositions can lead to collaborative composing experiences, opportunities for students to experiment with new modes of composing, chances for students to focus more on global composing concerns than on sentence-level ones, and occasions for students to both pose and solve complex rhetorical problems in creative ways. Though I do not argue that incorporating music into a composition course is the best or only way to teach composition, I do suggest that instructors consider the potential benefits incorporating music into composition pedagogy can offer.

Mellon Foundation and administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation (WW).

The Career Enhancement Fellowships for Junior Faculty aims to increase the presence of minority Junior Faculty (African Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, Native Americans and Native Alaskans), and other junior faculty members committed to eradicating racial disparities, and breaking down stereotypes and promoting cross-racial understanding in core fields in the arts and sciences. The objective of the fellowship program is to aid the scholarly research and intellectual growth of junior faculty (men and women) and improve their chances for moving successfully towards tenure by offering support for twelve months of research and writing.

MacManus will spend her fellowship year working on her book manuscript. GWST and UMBC are excited to see the results of her research, and we applaud her achievement!
