abstract
In two lecture-workshops (one for literature faculty and one for composition faculty), I presented an overview of the history of multimodality in English studies and how multimodal texts are assigned, composed, and analyzed/assessed in the various disciplines. This lecture was part of a year-long speaker series intended to support Kent State’s initiative to introduce multimodal composition in all of its first-year writing classes.
