Dear Writing Studies Community,
We are excited to share our Call for Proposals for Computers and Writing 2027 in Tucson, Arizona! This year, our conference theme, Resilience – Adaptive Persistence in Computers and Writing, builds off of the work and themes from last year’s conference on digital rhetorics and sustainable change. The conference will be held from June 3-5 and there will be a lower-cost option to stay in the dorms.
Please find our CFP here: Resilience – Adaptive Persistence in Computers and Writing
