Questions for These Meetings
Pre-Conference
In the pre-conference Town Hall Meeting,
which will begin a three weeks before the face to face conference, approximately
every three days one of the invited participants will give an extended
email presentation on the topic "Who We Are, What We Do." The community
will then have a chance to discuss this presentation online. Initial topics
might include:
-
Where's the proof? Why should we be using
computers in our classes?
-
What should we be doing with computers and
writing?
-
Is the Writing Teacher a Computer Scientist?
Or vice versa? Who are we?
-
Is there a Rhetoric of computers and writing?
-
What is academic writing? How is it (or should
it be) affected by computers?
-
How is our field embracing diversity and inequality?
Post-Conference
During the post-conference town hall (one
week long), we'll ask that those who attended the conference summarize
what was said at the face-to-face town hall meetings, and use the previous
discussions as a springboard to contemplate "What We Will Become." Here,
the moderator will identify key issues that have been articulated and lead
the community in an inquiry to define itself. |
