Writing Research Across Borders II International Travel Fellowship
Conference Web Site: http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/wrconf11/
George Mason University (in the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia area)
February 17-20, 2011
The Writing Research Across Borders (WRAB) II conference aims to bring
together writing researchers from across the globe to share their
findings and to set new research agendas. As in past years, this
conference will focus on writing development across the lifespan,
including the impact of new technologies on learning to write, early
acquisition of writing, writing across grade levels (K-20), writing in
the disciplines and professions, and writing in the workplace or other
community and institutional settings. We encourage work from diverse
disciplinary, theoretical, and methodological perspectives which are
grounded in empirical research.
To support the international nature of this conference, WRAB II will
be offering a limited number of competitive fellowships to
participants whose home institutions are located outside of the U.S.
Fellowships will be provide differing levels of support (from
registration fees to travel reimbursement) based on need, merit, and
available budget.
To apply for a fellowship, a candidate should submit:
* a conference proposal (see attached guidelines)
* full contact information, including home institution
* a statement of no more than 500 words explaining the value of
attendance, financial need, and other obstacles to attendance.
Please send to: wri...@education.ucsb.edu.
Applications will be reviewed by members of the conference planning
and scientific committees.

Call for Proposals: Writing Research Across Borders II
http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/wrconf11/cfp.html
February 17-20, 2011
George Mason University
Washington D.C./Northern Virginia
Proposal Deadline May 3, 2010
As societies become more knowledge-intensive and communication
technologies draw us more closely together, the importance of writing
in economic, scientific, civic, personal, and social development
becomes more apparent. Correspondingly, the imperative to conduct
research on writing in schools and the workplace, in relationship to
learning and development, and in all aspects of our lives has
invigorated work among scholars in all regions of the world. The
conference Writing Research across Borders II will provide an
opportunity for researchers to share their findings and set research
agendas for the coming years.
Continuing the success of the three previous international research
conferences held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the
2011 Writing Research Across Borders II will be held at George Mason
University in the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia area. We invite
proposals that will continue to deepen the cross-disciplinary,
international dialogues across the many different domains of writing
research.
As in past years, this conference will focus on writing development
across the lifespan, including the impact of new technologies on
learning to write, early acquisition of writing, writing across grade
levels (K-20), writing in the disciplines and professions, and writing
in the workplace or other community and institutional settings. We
invite proposals presenting research in these areas. We also invite
proposals on any other areas of writing use and practice, such as
writing in progressive or large scale educational programs, or
proposals that link writing research and policies. We welcome papers
raising methodological issues about researching writing. We invite
work from any research tradition that is grounded in the tradition’s
previous research and pursues the methodical gathering of qualitative
or quantitative data appropriate to its claims.
Proposals should identify the format preferred (panels, roundtables,
individual presentations, and poster presentations). Individual or
poster proposals should be a maximum of 500 words. Proposals with
multiple presentations (panel and roundtable) should contain a short
overview statement and then no more than 400 words per speaker.
Proposals should specify the relevant research literatures, research
questions, methods, data, and findings, as well as the scope and
duration of the research projects.
The deadline for proposals is May 3, 2010. Please submit proposals in
.doc or .rtf format by email attachment to wri...@education.ucsb.edu.
Also, be sure to include a title for your proposal and each speaker’s
individual talk, as well as contact information for each individual
presenter.
