Registration is now open!

The 2011 Annual PHENND Conference will be held Friday, February 25, 2011 at La Salle University in Philadelphia.

The theme this year will be “Writing in Service, Writing for Service.” It will cover topics related to community literacy, community-based writing programs, multiple “literacies” and their impact on community work, and the use of writing in service and service-learning. This year, the conference is co-sponsored by the Philadelphia Writing Program Administrators (PWPA).

The Keynote Speaker for the conference will be Dr. Steve Parks, Associate Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University and the Executive Director of New City Community Press.  Dr. Parks’ talk is entitled “Collaboration and Conflict: Discovering the Outer Edges of Partnership” and will tell the story of two university-community partnerships in the same neighborhood, one which received praise and the other caused strong political push back from his own institution.

A full agenda, including workshops, will be available shortly.
