Graduate Research Network 2009
Call for Proposals
We invite proposals for work-in-progress discussions at the tenth anniversary Graduate Research Network at the 2009 Computers and Writing Conference, June 18, 2009, hosted by the University of California Davis.
The C&W Graduate Research Network is an all-day pre-conference event, open to all registered conference participants.
What happens at the GRN?
The GRN consists of roundtable discussions, grouping those with similar interests with discussion leaders who facilitate conversations and offer suggestions for developing your projects and determining suitable venues for publication. The GRN welcomes those pursuing work at any stage, from those just beginning to consider ideas to those whose projects are ready to pursue publication.
Why register for the GRN?
The opportunity to network in this way with so many other new and established scholars in the field is invaluable to any researcher or instructor of computers and composition.
For those of you not currently scheduled to present at C&W, this is an opportunity to get your name on the GRN program.
If you are accepted as a "presenter" at either/both the GRN and the Computers and Writing Conference, you may be eligible to apply for a grant from the CW/GRN Travel Grant Fund! (Follow the link from the GRN page for more information.)
The people who attend are generally smart, nice, and fun people!
Attendees have the chance to win prizes!
