Professor of English who has also become a Professor of Art & Design because of work in Limited Fork Theory, a philosophy of making, thinking, teaching, learning that is the study of interacting language systems (any/all visual, sonic, olfactory, tactile systems/subsystems on any/all scales). Limited Forks are tools of dynamic reconfiguration, rermapping, reengaing, reworking, and transformation that emphasize how and where connections form for some period of time in some location, including imagination.

Professor of English who has also become a Professor of Art & Design because of work in Limited Fork Theory, a philosophy of making, thinking, teaching, learning that is the study of interacting language systems (any/all visual, sonic, olfactory, tactile systems/subsystems on any/all scales). Limited Forks are tools of dynamic reconfiguration, rermapping, reengaing, reworking, and transformation that emphasize how and where connections form for some period of time in some location, including imagination.

Applied Limited Fork Theory outcomes are poams, products of acts of making (of which a poem is a form). Because Limited Fork assumes flux, assumes that a poem, as well as most other poams, are events, and that most events are joined and exited in progress. Limited Fork also assumes that poams tend to be outcomes of collaborating events. Notions of authorship and ownership are necessarily reconfigured when forked.

As form is also an event, the form of a poam is part of what emerges in a system of events that generate poam(s).

Limited Fork Theory studies growth, and grows through these investigative events.

An obvious limitation of a limited fork is the space between tines, or opportunities to not grasp everything. At best, Limited Fork Theory acknowledges that work is being done with partialities of partialities, and that this work tends to take place on surfaces, no matter where these surfaces are located; for instance, no mater how deeply inside something a surface is embedded. Each layer of something is a surface where events might occur.

In Limited Fork, time is a dynamic object and may be investigated in any ways that dynamic objects may be investigated.

Since Limited Fork Theory emerged in October 2004 at the Quality 16 Cinema in Ann Arbor, MI, I have been reconfigured myself, transformed into a Proforker whose English classes must now embrace any subject area, whose classes are more theme based than discipline restrictive.

The Management School
Lancaster University

I am Professor of Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development, Lancaster University Management School. With my long term collaborator Mike Parsons I research and teach innovation. Over the last 2 years we have worked closely with the Sakai development team at Lancaster -located in the Centre for E-Science in linking technology and pedagogy for our courses.

Dr. Jo Beld's teaching and research specializations include American politics, public policy, ethics, and social science research methods.

Professor Beld has been a faculty member at St. Olaf College since 1984. Her principal research expertise is in U.S. public policies affecting family well-being, with a specialization in federal and state child support policy. Her child support research has been disseminated to academic, practitioner, and policy-making audiences at both the state and national levels, and has helped to shape recent changes in Minnesota’s child support statutes. Professor Beld has also provided leadership for a number of initiatives at St. Olaf; she was appointed Director of General Education in the late 1990s and led a federally-funded faculty development program in oral communication across the curriculum. Currently, she is on released time from teaching to serve as the director of the Office of Academic Research and Planning at St. Olaf; she is also chair of the college’s Institutional Review Board for the protection of human subjects. Professor Beld is married to Tim Delmont and lives in south Minneapolis. They have four children and one grandchild.

Dr. Linda.Adler-Kassner is interested in how different groups and individuals define literacy, and how those definitions shape their interactions in various contexts (like school and home).

I joined the English Department at EMU in the fall of 2000 as the Director of First-Year Writing. Much of my job here involves working with our first-year writing courses and the graduate instructors teaching those courses. I also teach first-year writing (ENGL 121), upper-level writing courses like Writing, Style, and Language (ENGL 328), and graduate courses in composition and literacy theory and pedagogy. EMU is a comprehensive university of about 24,000 students, and about 90% of them take at least one of our two first-year courses (ENGL 120 and ENGL 121). Our program is exciting, dynamic, and challenging. We build our own curriculum, and are always engaged in study of that curriculum and data-driven revision of it. In 2005, our work was recognized by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) with a CCCC Certificate of Excellence.

My current research focuses on students, writing, and literacy practices. More specifically, of late I've focused on strategies for writing program administrators (WPAs) and instructors to advocate for students, conceptualizations of writing and literacy, and the work of writing programs through alliance building and smart assessment. This is the subject of my new book, _The Activist WPA: Changing Stories about Writing and Writers_ (Utah State UP), as well as many of my recent articles and presentations. I am also the coordinator of the Council of Writing Program Administrators (WPA) Network for Media Action (or WPA-NMA), a project devoted to developing resources for WPAs to affect public discussions of and public policy around writing instruction. I am also the current Vice President of the WPA and will become president in 2009.

My interest in assessment also stems from my work around writing instruction and advocacy. We're in the midst of a long assessment process in our program, as above; I also work with the Higher Learning Commission (our regional accreditor) as a facilitator for workshops like the Academy for Assessment of Student Learning, which helps institutions develop smart assessment projects.
