                           Post-Convention Workshop
         at the Conference on College Composition and Communication,
                   Saturday, 3 April 1993, 2:00 - 5:30 p.m.


             Including Lesbian and Gay Issues in Our Pedagogies:
                              Embracing Civility


This  workshop  will  offer  teachers  an  opportunity  to  explore a range of
effective  methods  for  including lesbian, gay, and bisexual perspectives  in
writing curricula and to reflect  on  classroom strategies and behaviors which
treat  issues  of  sexual identity with respect  and  sensitivity.   In  small
groups, participants and facilitators will discuss:
  >>designing lesbian- and gay-inclusive assignments;
  >>intervening in homophobic classroom dialogues;
  >>making the classroom safe for sexual minority students;
  >>and helping peer groups to respond constructively to openly lesbian and
  gay writing.
This workshop is intended  both  for  teachers  who  have  been reticent about
introducing  lesbian  and gay issues in the classroom and for  those  who  are
developing a wide range of lesbian- and gay-inclusive pedagogies.


                               Keynote Speaker:
                    David Bleich, University of Rochester

David  Bleich,  author  of   Subjective   Criticism   (1978)  and  The  Double
Perspective: Language, Literacy, and Social Relations (1988),  will  speak  on
the  ideological challenges facing all teachers whenever they address lesbian,
gay, and bisexual issues in the writing classroom.
