ten grrl
We are excited to announce the next annual Summer Seminar for Writing Research, Sunday July 26 to Friday August 7, 2026.
“The Summer Seminar was one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career.” (previous participant)
The 2026 Dartmouth Summer Seminar for Writing Research is designed for writing faculty from all types of higher education venues who are working on empirical research about writing in a variety of higher education contexts, and who would like an intensive, high-powered 12 days to work on that research, review approaches and methods, consult directly with experts, and network long-term with a cohort of other researchers from around the world. Guided interaction about participants’ projects is offered in the months leading up to the Seminar. The Seminar itself offers a quiet, resource-rich environment, coursework, small-group discussion and exchange, individual consultation with Seminar leaders, time to work alone or in groups on research projects, and a concluding presentation to the group with feedback from team leaders.
We encourage both individuals and research groups or teams to apply.
A description of the Summer Seminar for Writing Research can be accessed at https://sites.dartmouth.edu/writing-research-seminar/ The application form is available on this site.
The host for the 2026 Seminar is the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Tiane Donahue, for the Summer Seminar team
