Multimodal Literacies and Emerging Genres
A student's avatar navigates a virtual world and communicates the desires, emotions, and fears of its creator. Yet, how can her writing instructor interpret this formof meaningmaking?Today, multiple modes of communication and information technology are challenging pedagogies in composition and across the disciplines. Writing instructors grapple with incorporating new forms into their curriculums and relating them to established literary practices. Administrators confront the application of new technologies to the restructuring of courses and the classroom itself.Multimodal Literacies and Emerging Genresexamines the possibilities, challenges, and realities of mutimodal composition as an effective means of communication. The chapters view the ways that writing instructors and their students are exploring the spaces where communication occurs, while also asking \"what else is possible.\" The genres of film, audio, photography, graphics, speeches, storyboards, PowerPoint presentations, virtual environments, written works, and others are investigated to discern both their capabilities and limitations. The contributors highlight the responsibility of instructors to guide students in the consideration of their audience and ethical responsibility, while also maintaining the ability to \"speak well.\" Additionally, they focus on the need for programmatic changes and a shift in institutional philosophy to close a possible \"digital divide\" and remain relevant in digital and global economies.Embracing and advancing multimodal communication is essential to both higher education and students. The contributors therefore call for the examination of how writing programs, faculty, and administrators are responding to change, and how the many purposes writing serves can effectively converge within composition curricula.

Keep calm, keep cool, carry on: A young designer evolution
Robert Edmund Jones, a pillar of stage design, once wrote a comment about design that summarizes my design drive upon entering graduate school, “Realism is something we practice when we aren't feeling very well. When we don't feel up to the extra effort”. In an effort to break the traditional mold many American scenic designers fall into, myself included, I choose to learn and grow from a European designer and Professor, Nic Ularu. His European based teaching principles of scenography have taught me to explore every option available and ignore initial instinct to create symmetry and structure. Through exploration, analysis, and visual arts my ability to become a influential scenographer will be forever strengthened.
