Guest blog post by: Dr. Abigail G. Scheg, Assistant Professor, Elizabeth City State University

Dr. Abigail Grant Scheg Looking for a new opportunity? A new venue to share your ideas and research?

On June 16-22, 2014, join the Feminist Scholars Digital Workshop (#FSDW14 on Twitter), which can be found through HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Sciences, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory).

FSDW14 is an online, interdisciplinary, participant-driven workshop for scholars/individuals working on or interested in feminist-oriented research projects. The goal of this workshop is to create an online space where participants can share and exchange ideas/scholarship/ project plans. The workshop is an informal, highly-collaborative meeting where participants create and set in motion their own agendas. There is no program for the workshop and there are no presentations. Instead, participants collaborate in small groups to exchange research projects for feedback and peer review.

Any participant who works within the areas of feminist research are invited to join this discussion including, but not limited to:
  • Gender studies
  • Queer theory
  • Cyberfeminism
  • Critical Gender/Race Studies
  • Feminist Historiography
Outcomes of the workshop include:
  • Fostering working relationships among feminist researchers and scholars
  • Encouraging inter- and cross-disciplinary research and collaboration
  • Discussing feminist research strategies, best practices, methodologies/methods
  • Promoting collaborative learning and professional development
  • Creating a supportive space for feminist scholars to interact and network
There may also be opportunities to serve as small group leaders for interested participants.

This event is free! And it is a great opportunity for anyone with an interest, paper, project, thesis, or dissertation working with feminist rhetorics. If you're interested, please sign up here by Monday, May 5, 2014.


Dr. Abigail G. Scheg is an Assistant Professor of English at Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina. Dr. Scheg also serves as a Dissertation Chair for Northcentral University. She researches, publishes, and presents in the areas of online pedagogy, composition, social media, and popular culture. In March 2014, Dr. Scheg can be found at the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) in Indianapolis, where she will be presenting.

Dr. Scheg is also the author of the recent title, Reforming Teacher Education with Online Pedagogy Development, (just released this January), which discusses the concept of beginning the process of teaching in an online capacity. Face-to-face (F2F) classes cannot merely, or magically, be turned into online classes; there is a necessary pedagogical shift that needs to consider this class as a new experience, a new beginning. Without considering online classes as entirely new pedagogical situations (such as teaching a new course), instructors, and therefore, students will not be successful.

See Dr. Scheg's previous posts ”Hold the Technology Bandwagon!” and "Txt-perts: Implementing Educational Text Messaging".
