Zet Forward University Libraries Podcast – Dr. James Daniel, Anti-Capitalist Composition

Episode 7: Toward an Anti-Capitalist Composition with Dr James Daniel

We are happy to announce the newest episode of the University Libraries podcast series, Zet Forward, dropped in November. In the episode, Gerry Shea, Communication Librarian at Walsh Library, talks with Dr. James Daniel from the English Department about his book “Toward an Anti-Capitalist Composition.” The book argues that capitalism is responsible for the entangled catastrophes of the twenty-first century, and that it must accordingly become a central focus in the teaching of writing. Daniel calls for an ambitious re-imagining of composition as a discipline opposed to capitalism’s excesses.

Dr. Daniel is an Assistant Professor of English and Director of Basic Writing and Assessment in the English Department at Seton Hall University. His research theorizes how the writing classroom can valuably explore issues of precarity, economic inequality, and workers’ rights.

You can find the podcast at Zet Forward. Please check it out when you have time.

Zet Forward is a podcast to celebrate authors and other individuals who are involved with projects for the benefit of Seton Hall University and the wider world. The series began in February of 2022.

Thesis & Dissertation Guidance Offered By University Libraries

The most common issue producing an Electronic Thesis or Dissertation (ETD) is recycling copyrighted material (usually images) without first obtaining permission from the copyright holder. This factor often delays the acceptance of your dissertation or thesis.

Avoid these troublesome problems by learning what you may or may not reproduce without permission from the copyright holder (for journal articles, this usually involves the publisher), how to request authorization, and what to do when you cannot obtain permission or find out who to ask. This event will take place on Monday, November 20th from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. via Teams Video.

More information along with the registration link can be found here, or you can reach out to event coordinator Dr. Lisa Rose-Wiles via e-mail.

In addition to copyright and finalizing your draft copy, looking at the proper steps in submitting a Thesis or Dissertation will complete your academic requirement. As part of the University Libraries Walsh Workshops Wednesday series, a presentation entitled: “How to Submit Your Thesis of Dissertation” which focuses on your work and the Seton Hall University eRepository will be offered twice on Wednesday, November 29th from 12:00-1:00 p.m. and again from 6-7:00 p.m. Both sessions will be broadcast via Teams Video.

More information along with the registration link can be found here, or you can reach out to event coordinator Professor Gerry Shea via e-mail.

Graduate students planning to submit a dissertation or thesis this year and their advisors are very strongly encouraged to attend these valuable sessions.
