Call for Proposals: Computers and Writing 2K
"Evolution, Revolution, and Implementation: Computers and Writing for Global
Change"
May 25-28, 2000 Fort Worth, TX
Hosted by Texas Womans University
Dene Grigar, Coordinator
At the CWC98 in Gainesville, FL, participants expressed a commitment to
reach out to business and industry, as well as other disciplines, to study
and address the evolving state of technology and the pedagogies and
philosophies underpinning it, to pursue projects that utilize computers
and/or writing in community service initiatives or global relations, and
to implement computer technology more practically in the classroom
As a way to further this commitment to these issues, we seek presentations
that demonstrate new ways of thinking about and implementing computer
technology in our intellectual and personal lives; shape policy and
perceptions about the use of computer technology in the office, classroom,
and home; educate others about the effective and appropriate uses of
computer technology for teaching, learning, and research; promote
effective utilization of computer technology; demonstrate positive uses
of computer technology in contemporary society, such as community
building, knowledge-making, and the sharing of information; and actively
involve community and industry in Computers and Writing. Preference will
be given to presentations that utilize interactive methodologies and
encourage participant involvement.
Special tracks will be offered during the conference for people interested
in MOO Research, Feminism and Technology, Queer Studies, Publishing,
Communications Across the Curriculum, and Teaching with Computers-K-College.
Proposals are encouraged in any of these areas.
Information regarding special requirements for submitting proposals
for these strands can be found on our conference website.
Proposals are sought for onsite half and full day workshops held at the
conference hotel and online workshops held in TWUMOO. Additionally,
volunteers are sought for special Outreach Training Workshops (OTW) for
teachers in public education, K-12. Volunteers involved in OTW will be
expected to travel to local schools and provide one-on-one, hands-on
training for teachers in their classrooms and labs.

WAC/CAC/ECAC: Communications Across the Curriculum Strand Call for Proposals
Coordinated by Mike Palmquist, Michael Rosenberg, and Donna Reiss
At the 1999 WAC Conference at Cornell University
(www.arts.cornell.edu/jskwp/wac99.html), sessions
focusing on computers and new media were well
attended. The Computers and Writing 2000 Conference
in Fort Worth, TX, provides an opportunity to continue
the conversation on these issues during a year in which
the WAC conference does not meet. For CW2K we are
organizing a cluster of sessions linked by a common
theme: the role of computer-mediated communication
and new media in fostering and supporting
interdisciplinary inquiry as a venue for the teaching of
writing and/or communication across the curriculum
(WAC/CAC).
We welcome proposals from a wide range of disciplines
and encourage multi-disciplinary strategies at the level
of theory, and cross-disciplinary collaborative tactics at
the level of practice. Short papers and presentations
that foster discussion and audience participation are
preferable; related longer papers by the presenters will
be considered for publication in a special edition of
Academic.Writing: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on
Communication Across the Curriculum
(www.colostate.edu/Depts/WAC/journal/).
Topics on the role of computer-mediated communication
and new media in fostering and supporting writing
and/or communication across the curriculum
(WAC/CAC) might include the following:
*Conceptualizing and reconceptualizing WAC/CAC
courses and programs, in particular those that
consider the role of interdisciplinary inquiry as a
teaching and/or learning strategy
*Considering and reconceiving substantial
interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary inquiry
*Considering and reconceiving definitions of
"writing," "genre," and "disciplines" (as suggested
by George Landow, Kenneth Gergen, and others at
WAC 1999)
*Cross-disciplinary collaboration in WAC/CAC
courses and programs
*Teacher preparation, renewal, and collaboration
within WAC/CAC programs
*Writing centers and writing programs in relation to
WAC/CAC programs
*Direct student support in WAC/CAC
*Professional development with students (and
faculty) for technological as well as disciplinary and
interdisciplinary expertise
Use the online proposal submission forms for full details
about formats for panels, presentations, posters, and
workshops as well as for proposal submission forms. Be
sure to designate Interdisciplinary exploration among
the categories you identify for your proposal.
