*Save the Dates! June 26-29, 2012*
***The 2012 International Conference on Genre Studies:
Rethinking Genre--Twenty Years Later ***
#Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada#
The conference aims to continue a long-running discussion that originated with the first international conference on genre studies, ???Rethinking Genre,??? organized by Aviva Freedman and Peter Medway and held at Carleton University in 1992.
*The goal of the conference is to
create a dialogue among three prevalent traditions of genre studies: (a) English for Specific Purposes (ESP), (b) North American New Rhetoric Studies, and (c) Australian Systemic Functional Linguistics (the Sydney School);
present recent developments in each of these three traditions, with respect to writing in academic, workplace, and community settings;
explore convergences among the three traditions; and
provide a communicative space for discussion of other possible approaches to genre studies. *
The keynote speakers at the conference will be Jim Martin, Chuck Bazerman, David Russell, Cathy Schryer, Ken Hyland, and Vijay Bhatia.
!!Watch for our call for proposals in the spring of 2011. !!
