So I was hoping to be farther along in this project - this is always the case - but I spoke with my co-author and we are full steam ahead in a couple weeks. That said, I want to start poking around for a journal that I like. I am thinking it needs to be an English/rhetoric space as it seeks to convert rather than speak the choir.
So far I am thinking it will be aimed at English teachers, rhetoricians to explain why the field should care about girlhood studies. For me it is the next step in exploding the canon (builds of work of Cheryl Glenn, Foss, Foss and Waters and others) and is a feminist approach to hearing more voices. I think it also speaks specifically yet broadly to the identity and identity and writing issues that face us all. Will probably pull in some Stuart Hall, Roz Ivanic and others here. Of course we'll also bring in some girlhood studies heavy hitters (Sharon Mazarella, Mary Celeste Kearney, Meg Finders, Betis and Adams) etc.
So my questions are:
-What journal? Maybe Pedagogy or CCC or MLA (yikes) or JAC or College English. All feel like big pubs but my co-author is a heavy hitter so ....
-Title? I want something snappy that's pop culture-y about girls. (EX-Girl Power, You Go Girl, Girl Next Door, Girl Interupted, A Room of One's Own). A title really helps me get going so if anyone thinks of anything along the lines of "Writing the Girl: Why English studies must care about girls' voices" let me know

Hi All-
Welcome to the Masters Essay course. I am so psyched we'll get to work together like this this semester!
I'm a day late on this post - sorry - but I thought I'd do some researching and writing along with you guys this term. I'm thinking of starting one of two projects (both collaboratively written and both about the girlhood camp).
The first project I am kicking around is a co-authored piece with my friend Kris Blair. We'd like to do a piece on why the field - English in general or rhetoric in particular - should care about girlhood studies. I imagine it will be reflective and personal in nature in some places, but also theoretically situated. Still thinking of a home for it but maybe CCC or College English.
The other project has a tech comm focus and will be written with Meg McGuire (I gotta clear this with her too) and will be about the decision to teach the Girlhood Remixed campers Weebly rather than DreamWeaver. I want it to be about agency and access and the balance of theory and practice.
I'm looking forward to feedback from the group as I get this started.
See y'all Tuesday!
