CALL FOR PROPOSALS
This year's theme celebrates the artistry of our professional lives as we
write, tutor, and direct writing centers, learning from our own experiences
and the experiences of those we tutor. The Oxford English Dictionary offers
several definitions of the word art, suggesting that art denotes skill that
occurs from knowledge and practice, denotes scholarship, and denotes
grammar, logic, and rhetoric. These are the strands we will explore through
a variety of thought-provoking formats and activities.
* English as a Second Language
* Tutor training
* Writing Across the Curriculum
* Grammar
* Administration
* Theory
* Research
* History
* Technology for novices
* Advanced technology use
Proposals are invited on other relevant topics as well. If focusing on one
of the strands mentioned above, please name the strand on the abstract.
Please consider audience as well, and indicate on the proposal if the
audience should be peer tutors, faculty tutors, or directors (or any
combination). Please use the online submission form
<http://iwca.syr.edu/conference>, or send a one-page proposal (about 250
words) for twenty-minute presentations or for ninety-minute panels,
roundtables, or workshops to the program chair:
