NINTH CONFERENCE ON COMPUTERS AND WRITING

Ann Arbor, Michigan
United States of America
May 20-23, 1993

Conference Theme:

Lessons from the Past, Learning for the Future

Conference chairs: Emily Jessup, Susanmarie Harrington, William
Condon, Wayne Butler

Poised as we are at the end of the first decade of using computers in
writing classes, 1993 seems a good time to pause and reflect upon
what we have discovered during the last ten years and to look
forward to the next ten. The program chairs invite interested parties
to propose papers, sessions, or workshops. We are particularly
interested in proposals exploring one or more of the following
themes:

--Computers, Writing, and the K-12 classroom
--Getting started with computers and writing instruction
--Applications of hypertext in the teaching of writing
--Multimedia and writing instruction
--Computers and the reading-writing connection
--Explorations of the virtual classroom
--Uses of computers in promoting collaborations:
--among students
--across disciplines
--over long distances
--The effects of computers:
--on the learning process
--on the interactions among students and teachers
--Changing sociopolitical contexts for computer use

Proposals: Send three copies of a two-page (double-spaced) abstract
for a paper, panel, or workshop. Include: name(s), affiliation(s),
address(es), telephone number(s) and, if possible, e-mail address(es)
for all partcipants. Also include audiovisual or other equipment
needs (including computers, projection, etc).

Deadline: All proposals must be postmarked by November 1, 1992.
Notification of acceptance will be mailed by January 1993.

****CALL FOR PAPERS ON COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION****

International Pragmatics Association Conference

July 25-30, 1993
Kobe, Japan

I am interested in organizing a panel on computer-mediated
communication, with the preliminary title, "Linguistic and
Cultural Aspects of Computer-Mediated Communication."
Papers may deal with private electronic mail, discussion
lists (moderated or unmoderated), or interactive modes like
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and MuDs (Multi-User Domains).
Ideally, the panel will discuss not only linguistic aspects
of these forms of communication but their implications for
identity, culture and community, or for orality, literacy,
and the history of writing. If it not possible to put together
3-4 papers on CMC alone, the panel might also discuss communi-
cation in other new technologies, such as fax or answering
machines.

Although it is rather late to organize such a panel (the dead-
line is Nov. 1), I have the encouragement of one of the program
committee members, Bruce Fraser, to do so. The very technologies
which we will talk about will make this possible!

Please send abstracts and preliminary suggestions ASAP to *both*

possible please send abstracts and queries to Bruce and me
during that week, c/o his Bitnet address above, or by fax.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers are invited for the annual meeting of the CELTIC STUDIES
ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA (CSANA), which will be held at the
University of Washington in Seattle from Thursday, April 22nd, to
Sunday, April 25th, 1993. Papers should be twenty minutes in length,
and any topic related to Celtic language, history, or literature
(medieval or modern) will be considered.

Literacy in Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Norse tradition sponsored by the
University of Washington Center for the Humanities. Featured speakers
for the Colloquium include Thomas Charles-Edwards (Oxford), Joseph
Harris (Harvard), and Katherine O'Keeffe (Notre Dame). The conjunction
of the Colloquium with the CSANA conference means that CSANA papers
related to orality and literacy, or to Celtic/Anglo-Saxon or
Celtic/Norse interactions would be especially welcome.

Paper prospectuses are due by February 1st, 1993, to:

Dept. of History, DP-20
