Dear colleagues,
Please consider submitting a proposal to a roundtable on Celebrations of Student Writing: The Opportunities and Challenges of Writing Showcases
at the 2025 Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) Convention in San Francisco (Nov 20-23).
Many faculty and programs across a wide array of scholastic settings offer events that center, celebrate, or showcase student writing. Such events are truly diverse and can have a real impact on student growth, learning, and knowledge transfer at all educational levels. Whether a showcase or a celebration, whether for first year writing students or built into grad student professionalization, whether modeled on an art expo or in the style of an academic conference, these opportunities for students to share their work are worth reflecting on and situating amid other pedagogical or writing goals.
We look forward to an active and engaging conversation on what these celebrations of student writing have to offer—and the challenges they may present—to students, faculty, and writing programs alike.
For more information, please visit:

Interested presenters, please submit paper proposals (250-500 words, plus a title, abstract, and brief presenter bio) using the conference’s online submission form. The deadline to submit proposals is May 15, 2025.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
All the best,
Profs. Trisha Tucker & Amy Cannon, session co-chairs
