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, workshops, DeepThink
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
