The University of Connecticut’s Freshman English Program is calling for presentation, panel, and roundtable proposals from instructors of writing (in all disciplines and programs) for our Sixth Annual Conference on the Teaching of Writing. We invite creative engagement with this year’s conference theme, construed broadly, in the hopes of expanding our understanding of knowledge (including how we construct knowledge and writing’s relationship to knowledge) and networks (including how networks of all kinds affect knowledge, writing, and learning). We also invite proposals on related topics, such as:
|
Writing as Inquiry
Multimodal Writing Revision Individual & Small Group Conferences |
Collaboration
Social Networking Service Learning ESOL/EFL Diversity |
Institutional Practices
Interdisciplinarity (Networking across disciplines) Mentoring |
Globalization
Public Sphere Dynamics Contingent Faculty Case Studies of Writers Assessment |
