I came across a Twitter posting just now with a link to an article on the
NYTimes called "The End of Genius":
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/07/20/opinion/sunday/the-end-of-genius.html?_r=0
The call for dialogic thinking is nothing new for Inkshedders, of course,
but it served as a nice summary of the thinking that initially inspired the
Inkshed conference. And that inspired me to communicate with the rest of
this list about next year's conference.
*What we're planning*
The conference organizers are Andrea Williams, Deborah Tihanyi, and Roger
Graves. We've tentatively identified *Thursday, May 28, 2015* as the date
in *Ottawa*. One month before the face-to-face conference, we'll open up a
website called "The Game of Writing" that we've developed here at the
University of Alberta. In this online environment, we'll encourage
Inkshedders to draft, exchange ideas, comment, and post their work. The
writing done on the site will form the basis for the face-to-face
conference: it will be presented, workshopped, and responded to with the
assumption that the attendees will have seen earlier versions of the work
on the Game of Writing website. We're also planning to have one or two
formal speakers/discussions.
*Who should attend?*
We hope all members of the writing studies community (CWCA, CASDW, CSSR, &
Inkshed) will attend. We invite members to bring their *creative*,
*administrative*, *public*, and *academic* writing projects to the site to
develop them and to the conference to get feedback to them.
We'll do this in the context of the dialogic model of thinking and creating
that originally inspired Inkshed and remains its touchstone. We'll post
more information about the conference as it becomes available. For now.
mark the date: *Thursday, May 28, 2015*
Hope to see you there!
