> Synergies: The Intersections of Research and Teaching
> The Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) invites
> proposals for papers, poster presentations, and workshops to be given
> at its annual conference immediately preceding the CCCC. The
> thirteenth annual conference will be held in Louisville, KY, on
> Wednesday, March 17, 2010. The full-day event includes concurrent
> sessions, poster presentations, workshops, book exhibits, and
> opportunities for exchanging ideas, working on projects, and
> networking in a supportive and challenging academic environment.
> This year's conference will highlight ways that research informs
> teaching and teaching informs research. It will challenge researchers,
> teachers, and practitioners of technical and professional
> communication to push beyond the generic “implications for teaching”
> section appended to research articles to explore the synergies and
> questions available when we place research and teaching into conversation.
> Submissions on all topics are welcome, but we especially encourage
> proposals that examine topics such as the following:
> • the effectiveness of established or innovative pedagogies,
> • a research question sparked by an observation in the classroom,
> • pedagogical experiments sparked by research findings,
> • the needs of the workplace, the university, the field, or the
> community and ways to meet or challenge these needs in service, major,
> or graduate courses,
> • the roles, challenges, and benefits of instructional technologies,
> • the implications of existing research for the design of programs and
> curriculum,
> • pedagogies that can be used to teach research in the university and
> in the workplace,
> • research methods that can be used to examine pedagogies,
> • the relationships between teaching and research as they play out in
> different contexts within our discipline,
> • directions for future research on pedagogy or questions raised by
> classroom experiences.
> Proposals, limited to 300 words, are due October 5, 2009. All
> proposals will be peer reviewed. We offer three formats:
> 1. Regular Sessions: Individuals may submit proposals for 15-minute
> talks that will be placed on panels by conference organizers. Groups
> may submit proposals for 45-minute panel presentations. To submit
> proposals, follow the conference links at www.attw.org after September
> 21, 2009.
> 2. Poster Presentations: Posters will be on display throughout the day
> with special times dedicated for conversations about this work. Follow
> the same process for submission as for a regular session.
> 3. Workshop Sessions: The conference will include two 90-minute
> workshops overlapping with the regular sessions. Workshops that would
> help newcomers integrate into our field are especially encouraged.
> Please submit workshop proposals directly to Summer Taylor
> ([log in to unmask]).
> For additional information, contact the conference chair, Summer
> Taylor at Clemson University ([log in to unmask]). New teachers of
> technical and professional communication are particularly invited to
> attend the conference, as are graduate students and CCCC attendees
> interested in technical and professional communication.
