The College Writing Landscape: Navigating Intersections Between Disciplines, Genres, Pedagogies and Styles
MnSCU Conference on Writing
Over the past thirty years, writing has distinctively changed the college landscape. Computer-assisted instruction, writing across the curriculum (WAC), writing-intensive courses, degree programs in professional writing, TESOL needs, creative writing offerings, and semester conversion are just some of the changes that have reshaped the teaching and nature of college-level writing, especially in the MnSCU system. An ever-increasing menu of pedagogies has also contributed to the variety and complexity of the landscape of writing in colleges and universities.
Conference organizers seek both individual and panel proposals from all faculty (full-time, adjunct, and teaching assistant) that address any aspect of college writing. Possible topics include the following:
* Writing in/between the MnSCU divisions (technical, community and 4-year institutions)
* Research on writing
* Creative writing (on craft or creative work)
* Writing about literature
* Translation of literature
* Technical writing
* Computers and writing
* Developmental writing
* Composition
* Teaching writing to non-native speakers
* Writing across the curriculum/writing-intensive courses
* Writing and service learning
* Teaching writing to non-traditional students
* Cross-institutional discussions
* Working conditions/teaching loads
* Writing program assessment
* Writing placement & entrance/exit procedures
* Writing competencies
* Diversity in the writing classroom
* Literacy programs
* Teaching grammar in writing courses
The conference registration fee is waived for members of MnSCU. However, the conference is open to anyone interested in the teaching and learning of writing at the college level.
To propose a session:
Please send a 500 word abstract with panel or paper proposal information including title of paper(s), and name, address, email, and affiliation of presenter(s) by September 9, 2004. Panels are scheduled for one hour
with reading times of 15 minutes per presenter.
