CFP: Crossing Perceived Boundaries: Teaching Writing as Shared Responsibility
Call for papers for the University at Albany, SUNY English Department
Graduate Student Conference, Saturday, March 29, 2003, Albany, NY.
Keynote Address will be delivered by Peter Elbow, Professor Emeritus at
University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Every instructor and writing tutor who responds in any way to the written
work of students is, in effect, demonstrating some form of composition
pedagogy, making writing a shared responsibility. In honor of the 25th
anniversary of the Writing Center at the University at Albany, SUNY, the
graduate student conference committee of the English Department is seeking
proposals for 20-minute papers that examine how writing is explored in
EVERY classroom and educational context: response to papers, classroom
methods, the writing center, and beyond.
Possible Topics include, but are not limited to:
 Is writing teachable?
 Instructor expectations of student writing
 How does the choice of discipline (science, history, etc.) or
theoretical approach (Feminism, Marxism, etc.) affect the
teaching/learning of writing?
 Writing Center tutoring in assisting or hindering learning
 The relationship between authorship and plagiarism
 How do the expectations of the university coincide/conflict with
those of the instructor and/or student?
 Fitting creative writing into the picture
 Rethinking ESL teaching methods
 Exploring non-traditional forms of writing
 Does privileging academic discourse limit learning in a
multicultural world?
 Technology: an advantage or disadvantage in the classroom?
Send proposals of approximately 250 words by Saturday, February 1, 2003
