Call for Proposals:

On behalf of the Computers & Writing community, the University of Wisconsin – Stout seeks proposals for the 2015 Computers & Writing conference.

This year’s theme, Technoliteracy In(ter)ventions, seeks to explore how technological innovation continually forces us to redefine what it means to be a “literate” society in the 21^st century.  Personal, professional, and academic spaces are perpetually co-opted by new inventions. At the same time, interventions are often required—for those who fear these new technologies, as well as for those who succumb to digital addiction.

Potential panel and presentation topics may include (but are not limited to) the following categories:

• Literacies – (primary, secondary / multilingual / digital / oral / aural / written / digital / etc.)
• Technologies – (specific devices, applications, tools)
• Writing Studies
• Inventions – (new creations / innovations with professional, personal, academic impact)
• Interventions – (creating technological buy-in amongst skeptics / dispelling fanaticism)
• Access – (universal access – economic / physical / etc. – accommodation)
• Digital Humanities
• Pedagogies – (instructional strategies, teaching)
• Gaming
• Social Media
• Usability / User Experience
• Individuals – (investigation of key players, historical figures)
• Institutional – (examinations of educational / professional organizations)

Individual presentation proposals should not exceed 250 words in length, while proposed panels should not exceed 1,000 words in length.  We accept proposals for individual presentations, panels, roundtables, workshops, performances, and welcome other creative formats.

We also encourage you to add your own categories as tags on the proposal form.
