[Air-L] Reminder: CFP: The Territoire/Places of Writing Studies in HigherEducation (CFP Deadline Sept. 20/30, 2008)

[Doreen Starke-Meyerring, Dr.]

Dear colleagues,

this is the final call for proposals for the CASDW conference on Writing in Higher Education in Ottawa from May 24-26, 2009 (the most beautiful time to be in Ottawa!)

For AoIRers, this call may be of particular interest as the conference also aims to address issues surrounding writing in digital environments, such as copyright, fair use, privacy, plagiarism policing software, open access, etc., the role of wikis, blogs, etc. in writing instruction and digital citizenship.

Again the conference invites proposals in two languages--French (see the CFP here http://casdw-acr.mcgill.ca/fr/cfps.htm) and English (see the CFP here: http://casdw-acr.mcgill.ca/en/cfps.htm).

The final deadline for this call is Sept 30.

Again, we look forward to receiving your proposals and hope to see you in Ottawa in May next year.

Best,

Doreen

Dear colleagues,

the Canadian Association for the Study of Discourse and Writing/ Association canadienne de rédactologie (CASDW/ACR; formerly Canadian Association of Teachers of Technical Writing/L'Association canadienne de professeurs de rédaction technique et scientifique) invites you to submit proposals for its  international conference at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, from May 24-May 26, 2009.

With the conference theme "The Territoire/Places of Writing Studies in Higher Education: Canadian and International Perspectives," we invite proposals that help us identify, interrogate, and illuminate the various locations-physical, administrative, and intellectual-that shape our identities and practices as researchers and teachers of writing. 

The theme also echoes the recent name change of our association to reflect the growth of our field and the rich diversity of the work undertaken in Writing Studies, including genre studies; rhetorical theory; composition studies; engineering communication; business communication; writing in digital environments; writing centre theory and practice; writing in the disciplines; professional, technical, and scientific communication, and more.

Please see the complete call for proposals in English and French (our two conference languages) on our web site at http://casdw-acr.mcgill.ca/en/cfps.htm   (English) or http://casdw-acr.mcgill.ca/fr/cfps.htm  (French). 

Please also distribute our call widely to other interested colleagues who may not be on this listserv.

We look forward to receiving your proposals and hope to see you in Ottawa in 2009!
