Sunday reading

I feel like I've been bouncing around all day. In Barry (2002), I've been reading about post-structuralism, deconstruction, modernism, and post-modernism.
Online, I fell down a rabbit hole. When I was talking to Michael about "The Death of the Author", he mused about the death of the blogger. I searched that phrase, curious if anyone had developed that idea. Only six hits for that exact phrase, which is so rare.

One of the hits led me to a post on a blog called Reassigned Time.

This is an academic blog and this particular entry from early 2007 mourns Michael Bérubé's decision to stop blogging. It's also an interesting take on the place of blogging within academia and on academics who blog. This led me to Bérubé's blog (he restarted his blog last month), and that led me to this article in the Pittsburgh City Paper about Bérubé and his views on politics and academic freedom.

Via Facebook, I was led to this video from last week's "Rebooting the News" conference in Philadelphia. The workshop focuses on copyright and fair use and has given me a really good reason to look forward to November 11th. For more information, check out Renee Hobbs' Media Education Lab.

Good stuff.

Configuring the new blog

Still working out the kinks on the process of content production for the new research review blog. So far, I've included these journals:

From IRA

RRQ - Reading Research Quarterly
RT - Reading Teacher
JAAL - Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy

From AERA

ARER - American Review of Educational Research
RRE - Review of Research in Education
EEPA - Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis
ER - Educational Researcher
RER - Review of Educational Research
AERJ - American Educational Research Journal

AERA, not included
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics - focus is on research methods

From NCTE

RTE - Research in the Teaching of English
TP - Talking Points
EJ - English Journal

NCTE, not included
Voices from the Middle - doesn't publish research
College English - not focused on K12
Teaching English in the Two Year College - not focused on K12
College Composition and Communication - not focused on K12
English Education - doesn't publish research

Need to consider:

Reading Horizons
Writing Center Journal
The Australian Journal of Language and Literacy
Written Communication
Journal of College Reading and Learning
Reading Psychology
Reading
Journal of Second Language Writing
TESOL Journal
English for Specific Purposes
Journal of Reading
Language and Learning
Studies in Writing
Pedagogy
Journal of Child Language

Also, find some that deal with brain science.
