The November guild meeting topic will be Jack Kerouac’s Life and Works, presented by Nancy Fox, Department of English and Philosophy lecturer with Stephen F. Austin State University, on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Attoyac River Gallery.
In 1999, Nancy received her Master's degree in English from Stephen F. Austin State University where she currently serves as director of the writing program and teaches composition courses as a lecturer. She has one publication in the 2001 Merrimack Review, "Twain's River and Kerouac's Road." Her research and writing interests involve the application of Carl Jung's theories to literature, especially the Beat Generation. Nancy's future literary projects include expanding her theories to include all the Beat writers proving their literary and social importance, and her composition projects include investigations into the effects of anxiety on the writing process, especially in first semester college students. In March she will present "'Paradoxical Intention': Writing Anxiety" at the National Conference of College Composition and Communications (CCCC's) taking place in San Francisco.
