Hello from Calgary.
I hear that Air Canada has seat sale on, so here are the arrival and
departure times for Inkshed 18.
Bus will leave Calgary Airport for Canmore on May 12 at 4:00 pm. It's about
an hour's drive. Dinner will be at approximately 6:30, followed by an
evening session.
Bus will leave Canmore at 1:30 on May 15 and get to the airport at about
2:30 (maybe 2:45).
The call for papers is below and you still have a day to get something in to
us.

> Canmore, Alberta
>
> Reading Contexts
>
> Inkshed 18 will be held in Canmore, Alberta, a scenic resort town in the
> foothills of the Rockies. The organizing committee invites proposals on
> the topic of "Reading Contexts," a theme encompassing both how texts are
> ead and how writers "read" the varied audiences and contexts for which
> they write. Reading contexts may include the classroom, the workplace,
> and the media.
>
> Participants might consider such questions as
>
> how students read (or learn to read) academic texts and
> assignments;
> how we can help students "read" the contexts in which their writing
> will be taken up by audiences real and imagined;
> how we create contexts for reading in our classrooms;
> how we read student papers and how they "read" our responses to
> their writing;
> how professional writers “read” contexts and how their documents
> are read;
> how genre affects reading and writers' reading of context.
>
> Proposals may be individual or collaborative and may include
> presentations, workshops, panels or performances (limited to about 20
> minutes per participant).
>
> Please submit your proposals by February 15, 2001, to the Inkshed 18
