Call for Proposals: Activities & Assignments Archive @ Writing Spaces
Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing, an open textbook series for undergraduate composition, is now seeking proposals for the Activities and Assignments Archive. As an open-access companion resource to the Writing Spaces textbook series, the Activities and Assignments Archive offers pedagogical resources grounded in current practice and scholarship. Each document presents a pedagogical activity or assignment, curated by teacher-scholars for writing students, and reviewed by the Writing Spaces editorial team.
We invite proposals on a wide range of topics in writing studies. In particular, we would appreciate contributions that focus on the following topics, as they have emerged in light of our survey of readers, editorial board interests, and our review of previous issues.
- interpreting and implementing feedback from instructors and peers
- global Englishes, translingualism, code meshing, indigenous rhetorics
- writing for social change, community-engaged writing, social justice, public rhetorics
- writing in the disciplines (WID), writing across the curriculum (WAC), writing for specific professions or fields
- digital rhetoric, digital writing, new media, technology, ubiquitous computing, wearables, surveillance, and privacy
- eco-composition, place-based writing, digital places and platforms
- student resilience, connecting to campus resources, and building community
- teaching in online and/or hybrid contexts
- activities/assignments that engage the use of Writing Spaces materials
Each proposal should consist of a 300-word abstract that clearly summarizes the proposed activity or assignment. If you have not taught with or used the Activities and Assignments Archive on Writing Spaces yet, please make sure to familiarize yourself with the current publications. Proposals are due no later than April 1st, 2022, and are to be submitted as a .doc, .pdf, .rtf, or .odt file via email to editors@writingspaces.org, with “AAA Proposal, [Title]” in the subject line. Editors will review proposals by April 15th, 2022 and will invite selected authors to submit full-length manuscripts by May 15th, 2022. Since the review process involves only the editorial team, contributors can expect the review to be completed within a month after submission.
