23rd Annual
Research Network Forum at CCCC
Kentucky International Convention Center & Marriott
Louisville, KY
Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Questions? Email chairs@rnfonline.com
Deadline: Saturday, October 31st, 2009
CFP: The Research Network Forum was founded in 1987 as a pre-convention workshop at CCCC. The RNF is an opportunity for published researchers, new researchers, and graduate students to discuss their current research projects and receive responses from new and senior researchers. The forum is free to CCCC convention participants. You need not be a work-in-progress presenter to attend.
As in last year’s RNF, the 2010 RNF will begin with a morning plenary session featuring leading scholars in the field of composition/rhetoric. We are pleased to announce our plenaries for 2010 are
Muriel Harris
Professor Emerita of English, formerly Writing Center Director of Purdue University; Editor of Writing Lab Newsletter.
Title: “Rethinking What Writing Centers Say and Do”
and
Michelle Hall Kells
Associate Professor, Interim Director of Rhetoric & Writing at University of New Mexico.
Title: “That’s So WAC: ‘Speaking Life as a Second Language’”
At the subsequent dialogic roundtable discussions, held in the morning and afternoon sessions, Work-in-Progress Presenters discuss their current projects and gain the responses of other researchers, including the discussion leaders. Rather than present a formal conference paper, Work-in-Progress Presenters are grouped by thematic clusters, in which they will discuss their projects with other researchers and a discussion leader, who is a senior researcher, in an eight-minute writers’ workshop presentation. Work-in-Progress Presenters should bring 3-5 typed questions which they should copy and distribute to participants at their tables (15 copies for the two sessions will do; participants present in both the morning and afternoon sessions). Multi-media equipment will NOT be available for Work-in-Progress Presenters to use.
The afternoon session will start with the Editors’ Roundtable. Participants also include editors of printed and electronic journals of composition/rhetoric who will discuss publishing opportunities of completed works-in-progress. We encourage participants to bring a copy of the journals they edit/publish, any other publications, and announcements, which will be displayed at the RNF meeting and highlighted at the Editors’ Roundtable.
Please join us in Louisville on Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 to present a Work-in-Progress presentation or serve as a Discussion Leader (for those who are seasoned, established researchers) and/or Editor (for those who edit journals/presses). Electronic proposal forms will be available at http://www.rnfonline.com/ starting 10 June 2009. Deadline: October 31, 2009
You may appear on the RNF Program in addition to having a speaking role at the Conference on College Composition & Communication. Questions: contact chairs@rnfonline.com.
