Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to announce that the Call for Proposals for IWAC 2027 is officially live! The conference is taking place at the University of Maine in Orono from July 7-10, 2027 — a gorgeous time to visit this region of the US. The CFP is attached as a PDF below, as well as available at https://iwac.wacclearinghouse.org/. Please share widely!
We have three fantastic plenary speakers scheduled: Bonnie Williams-Farrier (Cal State Fullerton), Michael Lowry (The McCallie School; Einstein Fellow at the Library of Congress), and Natalia Ávila Reyes (UC Chile).
This conference will directly precede the Lifespan Writing Research Conference, so come for one and stay for both!
Questions can be directed to me at Heather.Falconer or to IWAC2027. We hope you will consider proposing and joining us next summer! The proposal submission portal will open July 15, 2026.
Best wishes,
Heather
