The conference welcomes contributions that draw on the insights of both
reading and writing specialists, and STEM educators and researchers about
reading and writing. Please submit your abstract in no more than 200 words as
a word document to wstem at aus.edu.  Abstract will be reviewed until September
30. We welcome early submissions and will respond within 2 weeks of
submission. The conference welcomes practical contributions supported by a
convincing rationale, research presentations and concept-based papers. Please
also note our ‘research in process’ workshop sessions below.

Suggested conference strands include but are not limited to: 

a) The importance of reading
b) Developing academic literacy
c) Writing for Publication 
d) Analyses of STEM writing (including Corpus/Genre analyses)
e) Writing for Impact : Grant and Business Writing

j) STEM Student Writer Panel
k) Science Journalism 

Please suggest which strand(s) your paper is best suited for. 

For further inquiries about abstract topics, please contact Professor Roger
Nunn (rnunn at aus.edu).

Special Collaborative Workshop Format:

We also propose a special workshop strand on the final afternoon, which
focusses on research in process, and is distinguished by its unique approach
to sharing research. Instead of the standard model where participants present
their finished work in a presentation format, the participants in this
workshop-style session collaborate in each other’s projects-in-process by
reading a short draft text on fellow participants’ research, and in groups of
three or four, ask questions and provide feedback.  Each participant discusses
and receives thoughtful responses on his/her own work, and reads and provides
feedback on 3 or 4 other projects.  This strand requires pre-reading prior to
the conference and could also lead to joint publications. Please contact Dr.
Lynne Ronesi for further information on this strand on lronesi at aus.edu .
