The University of Connecticut First-Year Writing Program is pleased to announce our twentieth annual Conference on the Teaching of Writing, taking place in Storrs, CT on Thursday April 24th and Friday April 25th 2025. We are thrilled to be hosting Dr. Stephanie West-Puckett as this year’s keynote speaker.
We invite proposals for presentations and workshops that consider our conference theme “Joy to You and Me: Making Space for Joy in the Writing Classroom.” We understand joy as a powerful resource, a mode of resistance, and a pedagogical framework. Proposal submissions are due by Saturday, February 1st, 2025 (deadline extended). Further information and submission details can be found on our conference website.
