Conference on Community Writing
Posted by University of Colorado Boulder on July 28, 2014
I am thrilled to announce that the Program for Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Colorado Boulder will host the first Conference on Community Writing in a little over a year from now: October 16-17, 2015. We’re already lining up a great group of speakers, including Eli Goldblatt, Paul Feigenbaum, Shannon Carter, Steve Parks, Deborah Mutnick, John Ackerman, and more. We will have panels, workshops, field trips, and action-oriented think tanks centered around the conference theme: Building Engaged Infrastructure. ***We will issue the CFP in late August.***
The conference will address, for example: How can writing and rhetoric programs (and related disciplines) create innovative curricular and scholarly models around social, economic, and environmental needs?
How does writing, argument, and communication drive social change?
What kinds of theories and knowledge are generated in universities that can contribute to local, national, and global movements?
How do community leaders and academics share knowledge and expertise to build collaborative research projects and courses?
Please visit the conference website and share it with colleagues. Then get your hiking boots ready and join us in one of the most beautiful locations in the country.
