SORRY FOR CROSS-POSTING!
Dear colleagues,
we would like to remind you about the conference of the European Writing
Centers Association (EWCA), which will be held in Freiburg, Germany, June
19-22, 2008. Upon request by a number of members of our professional
community, the deadline for proposals has been extended to February 15,
2008.
Here is a summary of the original call for papers which you can find at
www.ph-freiburg.de/ewca2008
Conference topic: Initiating Writing Center Work - Connecting Secondary,
Higher, and Professional Education
This Conference Call encourages discussion of concepts of institutional
development to set up writing centers and to integrate writing center work
into discipline-specific and cross-disciplinary instruction and learning.
This call also looks for training programs for writing/reading experts who
work in the writing center and beyond. In addition,
presentations on experiences with genre-specific support and the
facilitation of writing/reading work aiming for the needs of other
educational fields outside of the writing center's institutional home base
are strongly encouraged. Proposals should not only present
practical ideas on writing center pedagogy but also show how these ideas
are emerging from current writing center theory and research.
Schedule:
June 19: Pre-conference workshops
June 20/21: all day presentations
June 22: presentations until until 1 p.m.
We offer several cultural field trips in the evenings and on the afternoon
of June 22 to Freiburg and the surrounding area.
Best regards,
Gerd Bräuer
Chair, European Writing Centers Association (EWCA), 2006-2008
