The event is entirely ONLINE and FREE to both speakers and attendees. Our theme, &#8220;Evolving Possibilities: Futures of Advanced Writing,&#8221; welcomes participants to contemplate how Advanced Writing continues to transform and adjust in response to emerging needs and conditions in our discipline and beyond. Please join us and share the innovative ways you build your students&#8217; confidence and skills in a world that is changing on so many levels. Our theme invites analyses of the multiplicitous information landscape that advanced student writers face as they contemplate their transition from school writers to life writers. What\u2019s more, it provides teachers of advanced writing with a space to consider new ways of helping students discover how writing works in the world beyond college.<\/div>\n<div data-ogsc=\"black\"><b data-ogsc=\"\">\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div data-ogsc=\"black\">We are eager to share the full Call For Papers here in August 2026.
