CCTE welcomes scholarly papers, creative writings and panels in all areas of literature and language, including linguistics and language studies, as well as the teaching of these areas. CCTE also welcomes papers and panel proposals in teaching writing, ESL, developmental writing, and the virtual classroom.
Scholars and creative writers are invited to submit proposals that explore the 2023 TCEA conference theme “Building Community.” The Six Flags of Texas so familiar as a symbol reflect only a narrow part of a rich and storied past. In 1519 when the Spanish flag first flew over what became this state, indigenous peoples had inhabited the land for thousands of years. Texas today is a place with demographics varied by all metrics. Voting places have signage in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, for example, but over 160 other languages are also spoken in Texas.
In “The Meaning of Community,” Chapter Two of The Road Less Traveled, M. Scott Peck suggests that community is “inherently mysterious, miraculous, unfathomable.” He also believes that a community is “a group that can fight gracefully.” Diversity, then, is an inherent element of the heart and soul of Texas. How can these elements lead to a building of community?
We welcome fresh approaches, scholarly or creative, to the unique experiences of building community in Texas.
