Register now for Conference on Community Writing

[Announcement form he-sl listserv]

Dear colleagues,

Registration closes on September 15 for the second biennial Conference on Community Writing, which will take place in beautiful Boulder, CO from October 18-21.

Why attend this conference?
Learn about writing as a tool for social change.  The University of Colorado Boulder’s Program for Writing and Rhetoric is the proud host of the 2017 conference.  We offer a broad array of panels, workshopsDeepThink Tanks, digital displays, and keynotes on a wide variety of topics such as systemic racism, community publishing, feminist practice, contemplative activism, viral messaging, environmental justice, and much more.
Explore how to help catalyze and facilitate social change through various types of research, teaching, and writing about, with, for, and by local and global communities.
Network with colleagues in your own and related fields and from community contexts — writers, activists, teachers, organizers, and community members.  All are welcome!
Create and innovate projects, pedagogies, research, and partnerships.
Publish!  The Community Literacy Journal will publish a special issue dedicated to presentations and conversations emerging from the conference.  It also accepts manuscripts for consideration year round. In addition, you will have the opportunity to meet more than a dozen journal and book editors at an Editor’s Roundtable.
Feel free to email me with any questions.  You can find the program and registration information online at www.communitywriting.org.
Best, Veronica
