In reverse order, what do you say to young colleagues and graduate students in this regard? Are there currently any programs that offer graduate seminars in WACy/CACy/ECACy theories and practices? I've had some great seminars (rhetoric of technology; theories of pedagogy) that could easily be tailored with necessary across-the-curriculum readings. In fact, projects could include presentations designed to educate potential "remarkably inflexible" curriculum committees; designing WACy/CACy/ECACy syllabi; walk-the-walk projects that include the participation of students & faculty from other departments ... The graduate seminar is one potential site. Michael
