The 2005 Great Plains Alliance for Computers and Writing Conference will
be held April 15-16, 2005 and will be hosted by the English Department
<http://www.english.mnsu.edu/>  of Minnesota State University, Mankato
<http://www.mnsu.edu/> . This conference is open to anyone interested in
the teaching and learning of writing with computers. For more
information on the conference, please visit http://www.ndsu.edu/gpacw.=20

Currently, as computers and writing scholars and teachers, we live in
the age of the "post". Message boards, chatrooms, websites, email lists,
and blogs are just some of the "posting" technologies available to
writing teachers and students. So what's next? What is post-"post"?
=20
Therefore, the title of this year's conference is Post-"Post": Sowing
the Seeds for Future Work in Computers and Writing. This year's theme
explores the histories as well as the emerging and future uses of
technology in the teaching and learning of writing; therefore,
conference organizers seek individual and panel proposals from faculty
(full-time, adjunct, and teaching assistant) as well as graduate
students that discuss topics such as the following:
*	Historical analyses of computers and writing, with local or
disciplinary emphases
*	Analyses of textual/visual/multimodal teaching and learning
*	Online pedagogies, policies and practices in English Departments
*	Regional, national, international, global collaborations:
projects and implications
*	Futures for ECAC (Electronic Communication Across the
Curriculum) and other  interdisciplinary work in the electronic age
*	Narratives of teaching and learning writing with computers
*	Trends in electronic publishing
*	Electronic collaborations in the writing classroom=20
=20
While we are particularly interested in proposals that address the
conference theme; however, papers and panels on all aspects of computers
and writing, including the roles of computers and writing in all types
of writing courses (i.e., composition, business, technical, literature,
creative), will be considered.
=20
Please send a 250-word abstract with panel or paper proposal information
including title of paper(s), and name, address, email, and affiliation
of presenter(s) by March 1, 2005. Panels are scheduled for one hour with
reading time for individual papers/presentations of no more than 15
minutes.

Send proposals via e-mail to Dr. Randall McClure, Department of English,
Minnesota State University at randall.mcclure at mnsu.edu.
