ATTW 2012—Call for Proposals

St. Louis, Missouri

March 21, 2012

The Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) invites proposals for papers, posters, and workshops for its fifteenth annual conference to be held in St. Louis, MO, on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, immediately preceding the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC). The full-day event includes concurrent sessions, poster presentations, workshops, book exhibits, and opportunities for exchanging ideas and networking in an academic environment.

"Steven B. Katz, Clemson’s Pearce Professor of Professional Communication, has spent a major part of his career exploring that gap between knowing and saying, between thought and language, between content and style. At Clemson, he is finding ways to help students of science gain a better understanding of scientific communication, both within their own fields and with the public."
