Apologies for Cross Postings
Dear Members,
We are sending out a call for submissions for the annual CASDW Dissertation award. The submission deadline is April 30, 2015.
Our committee has been privileged to read some very fine dissertations the past few years and we are looking forward to receiving new nominations from within our diverse and interesting field.
We are also requesting that CASDW members pass on the call to their local faculty, colleagues, graduate departments or organizations where there are possible candidates.
We have had submissions from Education, Linguistics, Rhet/Comp, Communications so the field is wide and distributed.
I have attached the call and also will print below:
On behalf of my committee members Sara King and Jay Dolmage we thank you in advance for helping us find the next CASDW dissertation award recipient.
Best regards
Kathryn Alexander
