Paratext and the Problem of Religious Genres, Asma Helali
June 3
2:00 p.m.
Lawrence Hall 115

Islamic religious genres are major elements of Muslim civilization past and present.  To date, our understanding of the formation of religious genres in Islam have relied solely on later literary sources.  But what does the history of Islam's formation look like if told from a perspective that privileges documentary data: The paratextual material in Islamic manuscripts discovered during the last two decades?  This talk focuses on these manuscripts and, in particular the paratexts (marginal notes by scribes and readers and similar data) and their function in the formation, transformation, and development of Islam's religious genres.

Moving from Resistance to Writing
June 13
11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Have you been putting off your writing all year by promising yourself that summer is when you'll buckle down and get it done? Are you finding yourself continuing to procrastinate and avoid your writing even though summer has arrived? Have you ever wondered why it is that you really want to write, but just don't do it until there's a looming external deadline?

Led by Joy Gaston Gayles, PhD, Head of the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Human Development (ELPHD) & an Alumni Association Distinguished Graduate Professor at North Carolina State University, this webinar will help you identify:

- what's holding you back from writing and completing your ___________ (article, dissertation, book manuscript, grant proposal, etc...)

- the three most common types of writing funk and how to move around them.

- how to create the types community, support and accountability for your writing that will help you to ride through whatever type of writing funk you are currently experiencing.
