[Air-L] Writing for Interdisciplinary Computing Audiences Workshop at COMPASS 2025

[Joy Ming]

Hi all,

We are now accepting applications for the *Writing for Interdisciplinary
Computing Audiences Workshop* at the ACM Conference on Computing and
Sustainable Societies (COMPASS) 2025 <https://compass.acm.org/>. The
workshop will take place *in-person in Toronto or on Zoom* on *July 22nd
from 2-6pm ET (UTC-4)*. Please complete the form (
https://forms.gle/2Rr8fymNpxCPxxoX9) by July 7th for priority consideration.

See below for the full call for participation:

As the COMPASS community grows across fields and global contexts, many
early career researchers may face challenges around the often implicit
expectations of writing for an interdisciplinary computing
audience—especially across disciplinary and cultural writing norms. We
invite researchers who might be from the Global Majority, are new to
academic writing, or new to the COMPASS/ACM community to a half-day
workshop to help uncover this part of the “hidden curriculum.” The workshop
will include two main components:

   1. a panel discussion by experts on writing norms and
   2. a small groups working session focused on paper submissions and other
   writing projects.

This workshop will result in both immediate, tangible progress on writing
progress and longer-term benefits for early career researchers navigating
the COMPASS and broader ACM publication landscape. (Link to full workshop

)

We are looking for both:*

   - early career researchers (newcomers to academia, submitting to COMPASS
   or other ACM venues for the first time)
   - experienced mentors (late stage PhD students, postdocs, faculty
   members who have published in COMPASS/ACM venues and have experience with
   1:1/small group mentoring)

to participate in-person or online.

Please complete the form (https://forms.gle/2Rr8fymNpxCPxxoX9) by July 7th
for priority consideration.

* Some PhD students can fall under both early career researchers and
prospective mentors to undergraduate/masters/earlier-stage PhD students, so
you are welcome to indicate you are interested in both roles and we will
allocate you according to who signs up.

Thank you for your time,
