[Air-l] CFP: Santa Barbara 2008-Writing Research Across Borders (5/1/07; UCSB 2/22/08-2/24/08)

[Karen Lunsford]

Hi everyone,  AoIR research interests often intersect with those of Writing
Studies (e.g., human-computer interaction, online communities' writing,
distributed work practices, etc.), so I thought many of you might like to see
this call.  Very best wishes, Karen Lunsford, UCSB

Open Call for Proposals: Writing Research Across Borders
February 22-24, 2008
University of California Santa Barbara

Conference website; http://education.ucsb.edu/netshare/wrconf08/

Proposal Deadline: May 1, 2007
Email: writing at education.ucsb.edu

Recent decades have seen the growth of writing
studies in many nations, focused on all levels of
education, and all uses of writing in society,
using the resources of many different
disciplines.  This increased research attention
to writing reflects an increased recognition of
the importance of writing in modern societies.
Yet to a large extent the many emerging
traditions of writing research have neither
connected fully nor shared their work.

This conference brings together the many writing
researchers from around the world, drawing on all
disciplines, and focused on all aspects of
writing at all levels of development and in all
segments of society.  This will be an opportunity
to learn from different research traditions,
share our findings, seek common agendas, and lay
the groundwork for future communication and
alliances.

As a first step to building this important
conversation we have invited some of the leading
writing researchers, and those listed at the
bottom of this call have already committed to
participating.

We are now issuing an open call for proposals for
panels, roundtables, individual presentations,
and poster presentations addressing
* current research on writing,
* methodological issues
* reflections on ongoing research programs
* considerations of national or disciplinary trajectories of research
* agendas for further research
We anticipate a program of up to two hundred and fifty presentations.

Proposals to present current research should
specify research questions, methods, data corpus,
and findings, as well as the scope and duration
of the research project.  Proposals to provide
overviews of and reflections on research
traditions and agendas should identify clearly
the relevant literatures to be considered.

Proposals for individual and poster presentations
should be from 250 to 500 words in length and
panel and roundtable proposals, 500 to 1000
words.  Please indicate your preferred format.

Proposals should be sent by May 1, 2007 via email
to writing at education.ucsb.edu  .Please include
complete contact information.
