Dear Colleagues,
This is just a friendly reminder that the deadline for
CATTW/ACPRTS proposals for 2008 is today, if you would like funding. If
you have been planning to send a proposal but haven't got around to it,
please do so. If funding is not an issue, the deadline is Sept. 30. We
also encourage you to contact friends and put a panel together.

We
have received a good number of proposals from around the world, so it
looks like our meeting next year will give us great opportunities to
talk about writing beyond borders with colleagues from across the
globe. 

My apologies for any cross-listings that you receive of
this message. Please forward this call to anyone you know who you think
might be interested but who may not have already received it. Thanks so
much!

Best,
Heather Graves
Co-Vice President, CATTW/ACPRTS
for the Program Committee



Writing
Beyond Borders—Writing Studies Across Disciplinary and National Borders


Vancouver, British
  Columbia, Canada, 


June
1, 2, and 3, 2008


 


Open Call for Proposals


(please also see http://cattw-acprts.mcgill.ca/conference2008/en/cfp.htm)






The Canadian Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (CATTW)/L’Association canadienne de
professeurs de rédaction technique et scientifique (ACPRTS) is inviting
proposals for its interdisciplinary international conference “Writing Beyond
Borders—Writing Studies Across Disciplinary and National Borders,” to be held
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from June 1-3, 2008 in collaboration
with the 2008 Congress of the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences
(FHSS).


 


Rationale for the Conference


In line with the
Congress theme of “Thinking Beyond Borders—Global Ideas: Global Values,” the
conference addresses recent changes in writing as a multifaceted
knowledge-making practice across diverse academic, workplace, and national
communities —changes that result from the recent shift toward a more
digitally-mediated globalized community. Global ideas are very much created and
maintained through written arguments, and they are intimately connected with
global values—the values and beliefs that form the warrants for arguments about
global issues such as sustainability, human rights, international trade, and
the environment. Since writing studies is one of the
key fundamentally interdisciplinary areas of study, research in writing is
crucially important to efforts to understand global discourse. 


 


Our conference theme—“Writing
Beyond Borders—Writing Studies Across Disciplinary and National Borders”—points to the ways in which writing is used to mediate and construct
discourse about the global ideas and values. It also encourages conference
participants to examine the metaphorical borders of research in writing studies:
rhetoric, composition, discourse analysis, cognitive psychology, writing across
the curriculum and writing in the disciplines, linguistics, and English
studies. 


 


Conference Objectives


For this purpose, the
conference organizers invite proposals for papers, panels, roundtables, or
workshops that examine how writing practices have changed in varying academic,
workplace, and global communities. 
Proposals are also encouraged to examine the implications of these
changes for the study and teaching of academic and professional writing and
communication. 


 


We encourage presenters to propose papers
that extend beyond those borders to connect ideas from outside the disciplinary
(writing studies) and national territories. 
Suggested themes and
questions include, but are not limited to the following:


How do ideas from linguistics, sociology, cultural theory,
     gender studies and other fields in the humanities and social sciences
     inform research and knowledge making in technical communication?How can learning about current research in other countries
     spark new ideas or perspectives on research currently being done in Canada? Conversely, in what ways can research conducted in Canada contribute to the development of writing studies in the global
     community?What is or should be the role of writing studies in the discourse
     that surrounds sustainability, including environmental issues? How can the Canadian community of scholars involved in writing
     studies collaborate with scholars from other nations?In what ways can research and teaching (using participatory
     action research and service-learning initiatives and other innovative
     approaches) help us think beyond the borders of our campuses and extend
     our work to the communities that fund our work at universities and
     colleges?

 


Presentation and Proposal
Formats


The conference
organizers value diversity in approaches, perspectives and presentation
formats, including 15-20 minute individual papers, 90-minute panels of 3 - 5
speakers, roundtables, or 90-minute workshops. 


 


For individual presentations and panels, we are interested in both research reports
and state-of-the-art papers that engage the literature and theories to derive
new research questions, agendas, and directions. In either case, proposals
should include the research question to be addressed, its significance for
advancing research in the field, the conceptual framework and methods or
approach used to address the question, and key findings or directions as well
as their implications for practice, teaching, or future research. Proposals for
individual papers should not exceed 150 words (+references). Panel proposals
should include a brief (<100 words) description of the panel, its rationale
and objectives, as well as brief descriptions of up to 150 words (+ references)
of each paper to be presented and discussed on the panel.


 


Roundtable proposals should raise a provocative, but critical
question for the study and teaching of writing, specify the names and
contributions of at least 5 individuals who have agreed to participate in the
roundtable. Proposals should also outline the rationale for the roundtable, its
objectives, and the suggested discussion points. Proposals should not exceed 150
words (+references).


 


Workshop proposals should provide a 150-word description
(+references) of the workshop, its rationale, objectives, research base,
facilitators, procedures, and logistical requirements (e.g., computer labs,
software, hardware, etc.).


 


Opportunities for
submitting papers to peer-reviewed scholarly publications will be available
(more information to follow).


 


Deadlines


We plan to apply for
SSHRC funding for travel grants. If you would like to apply for reimbursement
for travel funding, please send your proposal to us by September 20, 2007. If you do not need travel funding, please
send your proposal to us by September
 30, 2007.
