Recent decades have seen the growth of writing studies in many nations,
focused on all levels of education, and all uses of writing in society,
using the resources of many different disciplines. This increased research
attention to writing reflects an increased recognition of the importance of
writing in modern societies. Yet to a large extent the many emerging
traditions of writing research have neither connected fully nor shared
their work.
This conference brings together the many writing researchers from around
the world, drawing on all disciplines, and focused on all aspects of
writing at all levels of development and in all segments of society. This
will be an opportunity to learn from different research traditions, share
our findings, seek common agendas, and lay the groundwork for future
communication and alliances.
As a first step to building this important conversation we have invited
some of the leading writing researchers, and those listed at the bottom of
this call have already committed to participating.
We are now issuing an open call for proposals for panels, roundtables,
individual presentations, and poster presentations addressing
* current research on writing,
* methodological issues
* reflections on ongoing research programs
* considerations of national or disciplinary trajectories of research
* agendas for further research
We anticipate a program of up to two hundred and fifty presentations.
Proposals to present current research should specify research questions,
methods, data corpus, and findings, as well as the scope and duration of
the research project. Proposals to provide overviews of and reflections on
research traditions and agendas should identify clearly the relevant
literatures to be considered.
Proposals for individual and poster presentations should be from 250 to 500
words in length and panel and roundtable proposals, 500 to 1000
words. Please indicate your preferred format.
Proposals should be sent by May 1, 2007 via email to
