Hello colleagues,
I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer. Early Bird registration for the Conference on Community Writing is in full swing, and I write to urge you to take advantage of the discount rate that only lasts till August 1.
This is a really unique conference experience. CCW, which will be held in Denver, October 12-14, 2023, brings together community residents, activists, organizers, nonprofit leaders, writers, artists, journalists, digital storytellers, teachers, students, scholars and more, who teach, theorize, enact, and write the stories of community change. CCW focuses on community writing, capaciously defined, as a framework to explore how change happens and to share and explore how writing can inform, empower, and transform communities.
At CCW this year, we offer two pre-conference workshops, a keynote lunch and keynote dinner Radical Imagination game, DeepThink Tanks, 16 workshops, and more than 80 concurrent sessions.
Take care,
Veronica

The University of Denver resides on lands that were stolen from the Cheyenne and Southern Arapaho tribes, and DU’s founder John Evans was involved in the Sand Creek Massacre. I acknowledge and honor the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes and all of the original Indigenous peoples of these lands. I commit to ongoing learning and support of Indigenous-led farms and organizations doing wonderful work in the community such as Frontline Farming and First Nations Development Institute.
