Transitions and Transactions III invites teachers to think about the pressing issues of our particular historical moment. The escalation of police-community clashes, the rise in rampage school shootings, the constant media-presence of violent radical fundamentalisms, all coupled with the reduction of culture and history to media sound-bites make the issue of trust in communication and speech and the ability to bear ambiguity all the more necessary and timely.
How is journalism an important part of the learning process for community college students? What are the challenges we face in the creative writing community college classroom? How do we make a literary life and literary citizenship possible both for our students and for ourselves?
