Congratulations to Brandy Corbin on the birth of her son, Spencer Scott, on Februrary 28. Articulate, creative writer with interviewing skills for part time work from home. Your choice of hours. Computer and photo skills an asset. The Online Writing Center Consortium Web site is now available.
Members communicate with each via an electronic mailing list.
The site provides a clearinghouse of information on and productive models of collaboration in the humanities and on best practices for institutional change. The models provided on the site, as well as the bibliography and links to related sites, provide a starting point for those interested in collaborative research and writing. The Innovation Awards are part of an initiative begun in October of 1998 to expand career opportunities, both within and outside of the academy, for Ph.D. students in the humanities. There are also scheduled social events. This topic is meant to foreground the transnational and post-disciplinary critical impulse in contemporary American Studies.
