Tom Reynolds’ poem “Cage Fighter” is included in the “Teaching Issue” (Volume 36, Issue 2) of Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature. It appears in the section “Women, Poems, Sport,” featuring works from several poets, including former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove. The teaching issue is “designed to provide an instructor with a text that can be used to . . . encourage students to explore the intersection of sport culture with race, class, gender and other twenty-first century issues.”
Dan Cryer’s panel proposal was accepted to the 2021Conference on College Composition and Communication conference. The title of his panel is “Writing Programs and the Climate Crisis: Cases Studies of Institutional Ecologies, Sustainability, and Ecocomposition.” Dr. Cryer will discuss the history of student involvement in our JCCC sustainability program, after having interviewed our faculty, students, and staff for the piece. The plan is to publish this work in a forthcoming anthology.
