Professor Collin Gifford Brooke has been awarded 2005
Kairos Best Academic Weblog; the honor was recently announced at the 21st Annual Computers
and Writing Conference Awards Banquet.
Judge Mike Edwards also announced the honor on the Kairos
website:
Jenny Edbauer, Traci Gardner, and I were unanimous in our opinion that,
out of all the nominees, Collin's weblog best met the criteria for this
year's award. Collin is a consistent, insightful, and engaged blog poster
and commenter. He does careful and impressive work addressing and interlinking
issues relevant to our field, and he's put his weblog to some deeply
innovative uses, of which his online seminar and the rhetoric carnival
are two excellent examples. And last night, perhaps as evidence of how
widely his weblog writing circulates in our field, Andrea Lunsford cited
one of Collin's weblog posts as one of the concluding examples of her
Computers & Writing keynote address, less than an hour after the well-deserved
award was announced.
Brooke's reponse to his award has been posted to his newly honored
blog.
This award follows closely upon two other significant academic acknowledgements.
Brooke was named earlier this year as new editor of College Composition
and Communication Online; he also assumed his responsibilities as Graduate
Director for SU's Composition
and Cultural Rhetoric doctoral program in January.
