Dear colleagues,
We invite you to submit a chapter proposal for a forthcoming edited collection titled Teaching Writing in English at the Decolonial Turn in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, under contract with the International Exchanges on the Study of Writing book series (WAC Clearinghouse). We also encourage you to share the linked call for proposals (CFP) with colleagues and graduate students who may be interested in contributing.
We invite contributions from colleagues in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia who are affiliated with colleges and universities where the language of instruction is English. Perspectives from instructors who specialize in writing, in composition and rhetoric, in writing center praxis, in literature, and in linguistics are welcome, as are contributions from disciplinary specialists who teach writing in their primary field of study. We especially hope to hear from early career researchers. Proposals can be sent to decolonialwritingbook by August 15, 2025.
We hope this collection will offer perspectives on writing and teaching writing in this part of the world in the current moment. We situate our questions within a framework of epistemic reconstruction (decoloniality) to emphasize the complex relationships between writing, writing research and teaching in these areas of the world and the Western systems of knowledge that dominate the field (Mignolo, 2000; Tlostanova 2015).
Please share widely and reach out with any questions!
