ANNOUNCEMENTS

     The Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) and the American Indian Caucus are pleased to announce the Tribal College Faculty Fellowship. If you teach at a tribal college and are interested in attending the CCCC 2005 conference in San Francisco (16-19 March), the American Indian Caucus, a group of teachers and scholars who come together to support and develop research related to composition, language, and literature, invites you to apply. We offer two Tribal College Faculty Fellowships in the amount of $750 each. With this fellowship, we hope to create opportunities for Tribal College Faculty members to become involved in CCCCs. Featuring over 500 sessions on teaching, writing and literacy programs, language research, history, theory and professional and technical communication, the annual CCCC conference provides a forum for thinking, learning, networking, and presenting research on the teaching and learning of writing. For more information, visit the American Indian Caucus website at:  www.ncte.org/groups/caucuses/amindian/, or contact: Stephen Brandon, University of New Mexico, Dept. of English Language and Literature,  MSC03 2170,  1 University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131,  sbrandon@unm.edu or steve.brandon@cherokeenation.zzn.c.

. Author needed for Contemporary Native American Issues series

     I write to invite you to consider contributing to a new series on modern Native American issues initiated by Chelsea House, for which I am serving as Consulting Series Editor. The series is designed for high school and junior high school students conducting research on contemporary Native American social, political, economic and cultural issues. Given that the books will be written for young adults rather than for a scholarly audience, I seek an author interested in reaching and capable of writing for this impressionable and important audience. To round out the series I need someone fluent in contemporary Native American economic issues, which include but are not restricted to energy development, gaming, crafts, fisheries, and tourism. The deadline for manuscript submission is August 15, 2004. It is imperative that you are able to meet this deadline. When a manuscript is approved, the author is paid immediately, on a work- for-hire basis; Chelsea House does not require an author to review a copy-edited manuscript or to compile an index. Manuscript length should be between 25,000-30,000 words. If you are interested in writing such a volume, please send a brief letter and a c.v. to paul.rosier@villanova.edu.
