Accolades: Joan O’Mara, Teresa Stores
Posted 5/22/2006
Joan O’Mara, associate professor of speech and drama, Hillyer College, received a “Top Paper” award in instructional communication at the 97th annual meeting of the Eastern Communication Association, which took place April 26-30 in Philadelphia. Her paper, co-authored with Jerry Allen and Ben Judd of the University of New Haven, and Kathleen Long of West Virginia Wesleyan College, was titled “Students’ Communication Orientations and Perceptions of Instructor’s Reciprocity and Learning.”
The investigation showed that some student communication orientations affect the student perception of the instructor and classroom learning. The findings raise significant questions about the efficacy of instructor teaching evaluations.
Teresa "T" Stores, assistant professor of English and creative writing, A&S, has been named to a two-year term on the Pedagogy Steering Committee for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP). She will serve as editor for the Pedagogy Papers, an annual collection of succinct approaches and exercises for the teaching of creative writing. Her own 2006 submission to the Papers, “The Capstone Course for an Undergraduate Concentration in Creative Writing,” was selected this year as an “exemplary paper” by the AWP. Stores delivered the paper as a keynote speech to the Pedagogy Forum at the AWP annual meeting in Austin, Texas, in March.
This year has also seen the publication of several new works by Stores in literary journals. Her poem, “She Buys Her First Red Shoes,” was published in Earth’s Daughters (#34), and another poem, “Dad Dawning,” was published in Bloom Magazine (2.2). Two excerpts from her new novel, Backslide, “True Believer” and “Blue Hole,” were published as flash fictions in Rock & Sling: A Journal of Literature, Art, and Faith (2.2). Another chapter from that novel, “Why My Great Aunt Belle Drives a Golf Cart,” adapted as a short story for adolescent readers, was published in Cicada (8.3).
