> Conference theme: Technology as Text
> This year's conference will explore our field's unique relationships
> with technology. We will explore and examine new research, teaching
> methods, workplace practices, and administrative activities that
> inform and teach us about new, current, and past technologies. The
> goal of these presentations will be to help us better understand and
> practice technical communication and communication in scientific,
> professional, and workplace contexts.
>
> Inform, Teach, Critique
> We challenge participants to create presentations that will inform
> the field about new communication technologies and at the same time
> interrogate these technologies for their social, ethical, technical,
> practical, environmental, or material implications. Rather than look
> to tutorials or demonstrations, we are seeking robust studies,
> explorations, and research partnerships that engage subjects on
> several levels and demonstrate new ways to study and report on the
> technologies that we invent, use, and are subject to in workplace,
> academic, and daily practices.
>
> Potential Topics
> Some particular areas of interest include (but aren’t limited to)
> research that examines,
>
> * the implications, challenges, and rewards a specific
> technology brings to communication practices,
> * connections between technological and theoretical knowledge
> building,
> * relationships of our own technology learning to the practice
> of scholarship: what does mastering a new technology or creating new
> technology, constitute in terms of our scholarly, intellectual
> enterprise?
> * presentations that teach and interrogate a specific technology,
> * the social values associated with specific communication
> technologies including the economic value, ethical implications, and
> value added of communication technologies,
> * pedagogies that enable students to engage, address, and use
> communication technologies
> * research methods that the field can use to examine and
> understand new, current, and past communication technologies.
> * investigations into the social contexts in which technologies
> are implemented and used.
>
>
> Proposals, limited to 200 words, are due October 28, 2004. We offer
> two general formats:
>
> Regular Sessions: 15 minute talks within 45-minute panel
> presentations. We will give presenters the opportunity to post copies
> of their presentation or paper at the ATTW Conference site
> approximately two weeks before the conference.
>
> Poster Presentations: We will include opportunities for posters
> (3'x4') to be presented throughout the day with special times
> dedicated for conversations and specific discussions regarding this
> work.
>
> Submit proposals for regular sessions via the ATTW website at http://
> www.attw.org. Connect to the site, register (or enter your
> password), then follow the links for conference paper submissions.
> All proposals will be peer reviewed. Proposals will be accepted after
> September 12, 2005.
>
> Workshop Sessions: We will make room for two 1 1/2-hour workshops as
> an alternative to panels of speakers. Workshops might focus on
> pedagogical issues, strategies for working with external partners,
> consulting, or research issues. Please submit workshop proposals
> directly to Brenton Faber at Clarkson University ([log in to unmask]).
