CFP: Online Writing Centers Association Conference 2026

[ten grrl]

The Online Writing Centers Association is excited to invite proposals for its fifth virtual conference. We encourage all writing center folk to participate, including writing center professionals, graduate students, and undergraduates. Please see a short description of the conference theme, “Writing Centers as Sites of Solidarity,” below and click here to read the full CFP and details. Please feel free to reach out to OWCA’s Conference Committee (confe...@onlinewritingcenters.org) if you have any questions.

OWCA's 2026 conference will explore how writing centers can build solidarity across difference and navigate today's challenging academic and sociopolitical landscapes. Drawing on frameworks of collective impact, counterstory, and rhetorical listening, the conference invites participants to consider how dissensus, tension, and friction can become productive spaces for learning and connection. Join fellow writing center professionals in examining how we can foster solidarity while supporting tutors, administrators, and colleagues facing unprecedented challenges.
