Conference Objectives
Objectifs de conférence
For this purpose, the conference organizers invited proposals for papers, panels,
roundtables, or workshops that examine writing practices in varying academic,
workplace, and global communities. Proposals were also encouraged to
examine the implications of these changes for the study and teaching of
academic writing, professional writing, and communication.
While we encouraged presenters to propose papers from all of these locations in
the academy, we were particularly interested in presentations that investigate the
conference theme:
• What role does technology play in your teaching, research, or
community work?
• How does your academic work connect with your teaching or research
Serving
Sizes
activities?
• If you teach or research in a writing centre, how do you connect with
students and faculty from across your institution?
• If you teach or research outside of Canada, how do you connect the
work you do in your country with the international community of
writing scholars?
• How can learning about current research in other countries spark new
ideas or perspectives on research currently being done in Canada?
Conversely, in what ways can research conducted in Canada contribute
to the development of writing studies in the global community?
• How can the Canadian community of scholars involved in writing
studies collaborate with scholars from other nations?
• How can we connect writing studies scholarship to the discourse that
surrounds global issues, such as environmental issues, war, poverty,
economic development?
We think the program will make for a stimulating three days of exchange, dialogue,
thinking and writing.
Main meetings rooms are Faubourg Building (FG), St. Catherine/Guy
Computer workshops is in Henry Hall Building (H), De Maissonneuve/Mackay
À cette fin, les organisateurs de la conférence ont lancé une invitation à
proposer des communications, des groupes d’experts, des tables rondes ou des
ateliers qui examinent les pratiques d’écriture dans divers milieux universitaires,
divers milieux de travail et diverses communautés mondiales.
Dans ces propositions, on encourageait l’examen des répercussions des
changements découlant des nouvelles technologies sur l’étude et l’enseignement
de l’écriture universitaire, de l’écriture professionnelle et de la communication.
Bien que nous ayons encouragé les conférenciers à proposer des
communications du point de vue de tous ces domaines universitaires, nous nous
intéressions particulièrement aux communications qui abordent le thème de la
conférence :
• Quel rôle la technologie joue-t-elle dans votre enseignement, votre recherche
ou votre travail communautaire?
• Quel recoupement y a-t-il entre votre travail universitaire et votre
enseignement ou votre recherche?
• Si vous enseignez ou menez des recherches dans un centre d’écriture,
comment interagissez-vous avec les étudiants et le corps professoral de votre
institution?
• Si vous enseignez ou si vous faites des recherches ailleurs qu’au Canada,
comment établissez-vous un lien entre le travail que vous effectuez dans votre
pays et la communauté internationale de chercheurs sur l’écriture?
• Comment le fait d’apprendre ce qui se fait au niveau de la recherche actuelle
dans d’autres pays peut-il stimuler de nouvelles idées ou perspectives sur la
recherche menée actuellement au Canada? Et réciproquement, comment la
recherche faite au Canada peut-elle contribuer au développement des études sur
l’écriture dans la communauté mondiale?
• Comment la communauté canadienne d’universitaires participant aux études
sur l’écriture peut-elle collaborer avec les universitaires d’autres pays?
• • Comment pouvons-nous relier les études supérieures sur l’écriture au
discours entourant les questions mondiales telles l’environnement, la guerre,
la pauvreté et le développement économique?
Nous estimons que ce programme assurera trois journées stimulantes
d’échanges, de dialogue, de réflexion et d’écriture.
Les principales salles de rencontre sont dans le Faubourg Building (FG), St.
Catherine/Guy. Les ateliers sur les ordinateurs sont dans le Henry Hall Building
(H), De Maissonneuve/Mackay
