Alumni Talkback Series

Timothy White Mon, 10/04/2021 - 12:56

The Alumni Talkback series is designed for current NEIU students who are exploring different options for careers after completing their degrees.

By attending these sessions, not only will you see that, yes, there is hope for a serious and successful career for those who earn degrees in English, but you will also get the opportunity to hear what it's like to market that degree—what interviews may be like—and most of all what you may or may not have realized about the job possibilities out there, both the good and the bad.

In every session, we've tried to book a variety of alumni with different voices, backgrounds and interests. But all of them should give you a sense of "Hey—you can do this," and the reason for that is "I am doing this right now."

NOVEMBER 2022 Talkback

Nov. 10

In our November 2022 Talkback we heard from Tia Munton, currently pursuing her degree in Library Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign while working full-time at the Des Plaines public library; Ellen Shepard, an English minor who was executive director of the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce and now runs a community development consultancy firm, Community Allies; Victor Aragon, now an editor and writer for Grubhub but also the founder of the website fandads.com; and Chanel Polk, a freelance writer and editor at Literary BAE, a start-up providing literary services to self-published authors. Polk is also under contract with Understood, an organization providing support and services to parents, caregivers and employers of those among us differently abled, or who think differently. Every one of them shared important insights for your use, especially how they use the skills they learned in your place as English majors, in the jobs they have held and the ones they work at today.

Alumni Talkback: Inaugural Session for 2022-23

Sept. 16

The first session of our Talkback series for Fall 2022 was a fantastic one! We spoke with four alumni who have definitely carved out strong presences in their careers using their NEIU English experiences. We spoke with Dan Woody, clearly living his best life while teaching as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Writing Program at NYU Shanghai (!); Max Wacker, who, although he graduated in the midst of the pandemic is now a making business processes simpler as a Business Process Automation Developer at Impact Networking LLC; Tom Pirmantgen, who combined an English major with a Philosophy minor to become Deputy Managing Attorney at Missouri Protection & Advocacy Services; and finally Michael Kooi, a freelance writer/independent communications specialist, making it work on his own since 2005.

Alumni Talkback 1: Jobs Frequently Sought by English Majors

Sept. 28, 2021

In our first Talkback, we were pleased to hear from Allison Videtti, now Vice President of Marketing at Great Lakes Credit Union; Colleen Brennan, now Senior Paralegal at Baker McKenzie; Carl Hauck, currently a software engineer at Scion Group; Matt Kiefer, a journalist at WBEZ Chicago; and Rebecca Wiggins, now working as a Technical Writer for the U.S. Coast Guard. Each of our former English majors (or M.A. English grads Wiggins and Hauck) explained how what they're doing today still involves the skills and dispositions they learned as English majors. If there was a common theme it was that no matter where one finds a career, English prepares students with the key attribute of empathy, which all of our guests agreed has led to their success in the workplace.

Alumni Talkback 2: For Future High School English Teachers and Administrators

Oct. 21, 2021

In our second Talkback, we were pleased to hear from Allison Ruggles, Lincoln Park High School; Mimi Cross, Steinmetz College Prep; Kyle Fitzmyer, Morton West High School; Josh Smith and Hans Kim, Lane Tech High School; and Ken Johnson, dean at Chicago Math and Science Academy. This month, our guests briefly described their path to their present position (some longer than others!) and then each shared with our audience one piece of advice our future teachers ought to know as they consider work in secondary education. Afterwards, they took questions and discussed topics from what the interview process is like to how one can (or cannot) anticipate the effects of trauma outside the school as it impacts the classroom.

Alumni TalkBack 3: UNPREDICTABLE PATHS IN ENGLISH

Nov. 19, 2021

What do former CEOs of NBC, Xerox and MTV, an NFL football coach, a commissioner of Major League Baseball, a Nobel Laureate in medicine, and the celebrities Vin Diesel, John Legend and Reese Witherspoon have in common? They, among many others, were all English majors who found paths after college outside of teaching or publishing. Come and hear from our own alumni who took “unpredictable” paths with their degrees, and find out what motivates them and how the skills they learned in English at NEIU serve them still today.

Our alumni guest roster includes:

Ian Feigle, Editor at Publications International, Ltd.
Jenn Lee, MFA Student in Creative Nonfiction, Columbia College, Chicago
Mark Eldred, Pastor, Bardstown Road Community Church

Alumni Talkback 4: Thinking about the Ph.D. in English?

Dec. 3, 2021

In our fourth scheduled event, M.A. students from NEIU going on to Ph.D. programs reflected on the application process, the demands of Ph.D. work (and NEIU's preparation of our M.A.s for such work), and the importance of choosing the right professors to work with! Joining us were Katelyn Juerjens (Northeastern, Boston); Rebecca Wiggins (University of Kentucky); Susan Landwer (Marquette University) and Elias Cepeda (Southern Illinois University, Carbondale).

Alumni Talkback 5: For OUR FUTURE TEACHERS: WhaT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Feb. 23, 2022

In our first scheduled event for Spring 2022 we were joined by a diverse group of experienced teachers who followed in the paths of so many at NEIU, originally a teacher's college. These alumni covered the ground—from those trained in the mid-90s and now approaching retirement, to those relatively new to the classroom; representing Chicago Public Schools, a charter school and suburban schools. We heard them discuss the differences in their experiences and answer questions about what lies ahead for you. What a panel: Katie Galmiche from Intrinsic Charter School; Toly Walker from Evanston High School; Duc Le from Morgan Park High School; and Sakina Syeda from Kenwood Academy.

Alumni Talkback 6: Oh the PLACES YOU CAN GO...

March 11, 2022

Just before Spring Break, we were joined by Lily Calder, a Senior Account Executive at HOPIN, Manny Cruz, Manager in the Implementation Branch of the UAS Integration Office at the FAA (Washington D.C.); and Nick Langenberg, now working as a client-facing paralegal at Stenger and Stenger (Grand Rapids, Mich.)--after grabbing an M.A. in Lit up there. Talk about a diverse set of destinations for English majors! Plenty of great advice here (as usual) about what skills you ought to highlight on the job market.

Alumni Talkback 7: Non-Profits, Finance & Advising, Oh My!

April 15, 2022

As yet more evidence that the skills one gains as an English major can and do apply just about anywhere, our guests for the April Talkback session have found careers in the nonprofit sector caring for LGBTQ+ elders, with the City of Chicago's Department of Finance, and in higher education advising soon-to-be new graduates and pre-professionals (How appropriate? As it ends up, Christine should be running this whole series!).

Serious Clowning

Shakespeare created two kinds of comic characters: the clown and the fool. In this seminar we will explore the way his drama uses these comic creations for serious purposes. From A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Twelfth Night, from Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2 to Hamlet, humor and its instrument, wit, serve as tactics for exploring the deepest issues in these plays. Through selected readings from the above-mentioned works as well as secondary materials we will try to open new perspectives on these familiar characters for use in the classroom.

The Search for the “Good” Story: Exploring the Relationship between Aesthetic Values and Making “Other” Lives Matter

As teachers of literature, we are asked to expose students to the “great” works of literary and cultural history while also facing increasing pressures and a sense of responsibility to “diversify” the works we teach and create a more inclusive curriculum. A tension often exists between these two charges, as if there is a canon of great works and then a body of works whose function is primarily to serve the purpose of making the curriculum more representative of our population. What criteria have been used to elevate literary works to canonical status? We will explore ways in our discussion that these sets of criteria exclude works by women writers, writers of color, working-class writers, and gay and lesbian writers; and by extension we will explore ways the development of aesthetic criteria play a role in larger socio-cultural processes that devalue the lives of particular constituencies in our nation, that make other lives matter less. We will explore ways we might need to re-conceptualize aesthetic values in culturally-specific ways to create a brave space for working through the teaching challenges we face.

Biological Rhythms: Hands-On Activity for the Classroom

Circadian rhythms provide a great centralized model system to explore many major aspects of biology. These rhythms are also easily measured and quantified in the classroom providing students with an excellent opportunity for data analysis, critical thinking, and self reflection. There is also a growing body of knowledge demonstrating the central role that these rhythms play in the maintenance of internal homeostasis and proper health. By understanding the biological basis of these rhythms and how alterations in the circadian system can lead to various disease states, students will gain a better understanding of human health and well-being. We'll cover how to use these data in the classroom to highlight major biological concepts such as evolution, the flow of genetic information within a biological system, genetic heritability and variation, and human health and disease. Teachers will leave with an activity that can be brought directly into the classroom to engage students in active learning and data analysis.

Teaching the War in Ukraine

The Russian attack on Ukraine has led to the largest, most destructive war in Europe since 1945. What are the long- and short-term causes of the war? Why has it been so brutal? How has the war changed the world economy? What are the implications of the war for refugees and human rights? These are among the key questions this seminar will address. We will use perspectives from history, politics, economics, and international law to situate the war in global perspective. Printed and digital sources useful as instructional material will be included; since the Ukraine war is, perhaps, the first war fully captured on cell phone images and social media, we will examine printed, visual and textual sources useful in teaching the subject.

Live the Día: Activating Student Funds of Knowledge Outside the Classroom

This workshop implements linguistic landscape (LL) research in ELA, EL, and FL curriculum. Beginning with an overview of LL research studies, including studies specifically relating to “schoolscapes,” this workshop will help teachers design student-centered, inquiry-based projects for the collection and analysis of authentic language use (realia) in the surrounding LL. The workshop participants will leave the workshop with projects specifically designed to make literacy practices in English and other languages in the real world relevant to their students., resulting in students’ appreciation of why and how some languages are privileged over others.

We Just Need More!

Thanks to social media, our students might write more than they ever did. What they don't write very well, as a result, is anything we would call a "developed idea," or in the most old-fashioned parlance, "a paragraph."

"Long is boring.“
"No one reads anything longer than a tweet."
"Besides, an image or meme can say it better than I can write it."

In this seminar, we will discuss the effects of this growing trend and share concrete and successful strategies for getting our students to prefer 1) verbs with MORE letters than "is," 2) sentences with MORE than a single clause, and 3) paragraphs with more than two or three sentences. Thinking beyond mere success on the AP exam, we'll discuss how to make them want to write that much more.

Classrooms and Racist Language, Stereotypes, and Ideas

Many educators who teach American Studies (history, politics, literature, journalism, culture) grapple with the explicitly racist language, stereotypes, and ideas that proliferate in required content, including iconic texts and poems written by African Americans. The debate about classroom use of the n-word in particular has renewed with vigor in recent years. Is there a legitimate place in the classroom for racist slurs and ideas? Can essential context and content be taught without them? Participants in this seminar will consider diverse perspectives on handling racist slurs, stereotypes, and ideas in the classroom, weigh various methods and data, and discuss the most effective ways to teach the full content of American Studies while also prioritizing an inclusive classroom community that fosters student learning.

Integrating the Beatles into Language, Literature, and History

Using the example of the Beatles and their language use, attendees of this workshop will engage in hands-on activities to explore new ways of using pop culture singing/lyrics to make English, language arts, and modern cultural history concepts more relevant to students, engaging the students’ curiosity mixed with learning through discovery. We’ll also benefit from another tool with which to engage students in poetry, dialect variation, and cultural history by presenting dialects and poetry via modern pop-culture.

While the data in this seminar will all be from the Beatles, the techniques taught will be applicable to any musical/lyrical artist. Students are inherently curious about those who speak/sing differently from themselves or from what is expected. With exploration of musical artists such as the Beatles, they can safely investigate their questions and social differences.

Teaching International Law and War Crimes

The massacre of Ukrainian civilians by Russian soldiers in Bucha is a fresh reminder that war crimes are a continuing concern during military conflict. In this seminar participants will learn about the international laws of war, war crimes, the International Criminal Court, and perhaps most importantly, how such crimes are investigated. The purpose of the seminar, in general terms, is to help participants as they introduce their students to global issues. More specifically, it will prepare participants to develop their own course materials for teaching European history, War history, and current events like the war going on in the Ukraine. Participants interested in writing a unit on the war in Ukraine will want to consider Teaching the War in Ukraine (10/7/2022) as well.

What's so small about a microaggression? Mock Spanish after Trump's "Wall"

The world of education continues to evolve in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. With the 1619 Project (now mandated curriculum in Chicago Public Schools and other districts across the country), investigative journalism tackled what mainstream public education long avoided. But even in a blue state like Illinois, popular backlash makes the contemporary moment tricky for educators who teach tomorrow’s young leaders. As of March 2022, 35 states have passed or considered legislation that restricts how or whether teachers can address racial history, examine racism as a system of oppression, or discuss racism as a contemporary social problem.

Racism is pervasive in language as well, via microaggressions which may go undetected by some audiences. Whether you teach history, social studies, language, literature, or science, this seminar offers concrete ways to engage students in robust discussion about American Studies despite the pressures of the historical moment.

It’s in our DNA: Using genetic models to better understand life

Genetics is paradoxically a bedrock of our understanding of modern science, but also at its forefront. Often mystified and misunderstood by non-scientists, genetics can play important roles in our everyday lives and can even affect our personal health. While it can be used to explain many things about life on our planet, in this activity, students will gain a deeper and understanding into some specific areas including the inheritance and variation of traits, evidence of common ancestry, adaptation of traits and organisms, and environmental influences on gene expression.

We will cover some human inherited diseases and learn how to research these conditions in modern online databases. Finally, we will introduce participants via hands on activities to the model organism, yeast, which was used to find some of the first cancer related genes in humans. Participants will leave the workshop with the knowledge, background, and instructions to conduct a simple yeast experiment with their students that will demonstrate the important influence of inheritance and environment on genetic phenotype.

Service Learning in the Classroom: Social Equity and Other Societal Issues

What is Service Learning? This is an educational approach where students take concepts learned in the classroom and incorporate them into volunteer/service activities to deepen their understanding of what’s being taught. As a result of service learning, students learn more about the community and themselves while fulfilling a need in the community and meeting classroom or degree requirements--and students in any discipline can participate.

Teachers taking this seminar will be instructed in the benefits of service-learning for high-school students in the academic and professional development in different classes as they prepare for the workforce ("career-readiness") and advanced educational pursuits. teachers consider ways to use service learning opportunities for enhanced discussions and applied learning outcomes related to social equity, inclusivity, and student engagement in the classroom.

Reading as Collaboration, Collaboration as Pedagogy

Is there a way to invite students into a collaborative, creative-critical conversation with you, with texts, and with each other–and thus allow for a more empowered sense of their own writerly voices?

This seminar is co-led by Ridgewood High School English teacher/NEIU MA Alum Amanda Patano and NEIU English Department Creative Writing Instructor Olivia Cronk. Patano and Cronk worked together in two graduate courses (Ekphrastic Practices and Critical Writing for Creative Writers) as student and teacher. Here, they present a framework for reading practices as collaboration (between reader and writer) and collaboration as pedagogy (between student(s), teacher(s), texts’ authors–and beyond). Likewise the seminar is a space for discussion and collaboration amongst and between all participants.

The seminar material includes texts for consideration as models or frameworks, writing games, and individual work towards a radical embrace of collaboration with and between students in all types of writing classes.

Class and Supremacist Thought in U.S. Culture: Exploring the De-Valuation of Lives in American Literature, Culture, and Political Economy

Since its inception, the United States, while perhaps aspiring to be “a more perfect union” has been a highly stratified society that has valued some lives over others, to the point of even engaging in the extermination of some populations. Even into this modern era, the U.S. has refused to pass an Equal Rights Amendment to grant women’s equal rights a constitutional basis. Even so, sexual and racial inequity are the subject of some redress in U.S. politics. The division of U.S. society into a hierarchy of classes, however, not only receives much less (if any) attention, it is often justified, even while it undergirds in many ways the nation’s supremacist cultural value system that values some lives more than others. The institution of U.S. literature has played a role in normalizing and indeed celebrating classed society, working hand in hand with an economic system that generates a system of valuation that sees some lives as mattering more than other—and some not at all. This seminar will take us on a journey through U.S. literary history, charting its classed cultural dimensions that underwrite and ratify supremacist thinking in America as well as our economic value system. We will also explore countercurrents in U.S. literary and cultural history that present alternative class cultural perspectives and value systems.

Supporting English Language Learners in the Higher Education Classroom

Meeting the expectations in the college classroom for students who are English language learners requires unique strategies on the part of the instructor. In this session, we discuss the challenges the academic setting presents on ELLs and how these expectations may impact and be interconnected with students’ ability to listen, read, and write in the academic setting. The impact on instructor practices on students’ social emotional learning (SEL) and the importance of an instructor’s cultural competence will also be addressed. Participants will leave with specific strategies they can use to support their learners.

Teaching Ethics

This seminar will address some of the issues involved in teaching moral theory in the high school classroom. We will discuss lessons learned in the field and then examine a few moral theories from the history of ethics. In our discussion, we will apply these theories to two modern topics---animal rights and designer babies.

Hour 1---Lessons from the high school and college classroom

Hour 2---A few moral theories. We will discuss ways to teach Utilitarianism, Kantian Deontology, Aristotelian Virtue Ethics, and Feminist Ethics.

Hour 3---Application of these theories to the ethics of our treatment of food animals and the ethics of producing designer babies.

Expertise

My focus at 91Porn has been in freshman composition and research writing, although previous to that time my focus was on ESL when I was teaching for the City Colleges of Chicago. In that capacity I researched many different patterns of learning and language development of non-native speakers of English. I also continue to develop and hone my craft as a writer of short fiction. In regard to literature, my focus has been on 20th century American writers, although I have a broad interest of literature from British 19th century romantic poets to modern European writers such as Franz Kafka to Latin American writers such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In all my areas of concentration as an instructor I look to engage and challenge students to think for themselves and connect what they read and write for my classes to their own lives and the world at large in which they seek to establish their profession (or conquer).

Creative Writing, Minor

The English Department’s Creative Writing minor provides undergraduate students of any major with opportunities to develop as writers within a variety of creative contexts. The courses in the program enable students to develop both writing craft and technical proficiency. In addition to taking foundations courses that introduce students to the discipline, students take workshop courses and electives in any genres they choose. Through artistic community and literary engagement, students will develop their own writing philosophies and catalogs of techniques in service of pursuing a body of work.
