ATTW @ CEA 2005: Space(s)
Deadline: 15 November 2004
The Association of Teachers of Technical Writing invites submission of abstracts for presentations in ATTW-sponsored sessions at the College English Association's 36th annual meeting, March 31 - April 2, 2005 in Indianapolis, Indiana. This will be the second year ATTW has sponsored panels at CEA.
ATTW will consider submissions for presentations or panels on any topic related to technical, business, or scientific communication. But as the CEA's conference-wide theme this year is "Space(s)," we encourage proposals that complement that theme.
For example, scholars in technical, scientific, and business communication might focus on topics that address issues of spaces such as these:
* Academic spaces: the library, the classroom
* Virtual or cyberspaces: the Web, the web page, hypertext
* Disciplinary spaces: cross-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary
* Economic spaces: the workplace, the cubicle
* Environmental spaces: the moor, the sea, the national park
* Gendered spaces
* The page: negative space, document design
* Technological spaces: the laboratory, the computer desktop, the screen
* Writing spaces: the desk, the office
The deadline for proposals is 15 November 2004. Send 200-word abstracts by email (in the body, not as an attachment) to miles.kimball@ttu.edu. Please be sure to include the following information:
* Name
* Title for proposed presentation or panel
* Institutional affiliation
* Mailing address
* Phone number
* Email address
If you are proposing a panel, include all of the above information for each presenter.
