I'm excited to share with you our CFP for an edited collection focused on Q***r Praxis in the Writing Center. Please share widely.
CFP: Q***r Praxis in the Writing Center: Expanding Intersectional Paradigms (Edited Collection)

IWCA 2021 Summer Institute
Virtual, June 14-18
Register by April 23rd at writingcenters.org
Limited grants available - due April 23rd

This year’s IWCA Summer Institute can be summed up in four words: virtual, global, flexible, and accessible. Join us for the first ever virtual Summer Institute June 14-18, 2021! The SI is traditionally a time for folks to get away from the day-to-day and gather as a cohort, and while the extent to which you get away from the day-to-day is up to you, this year’s cohort will enjoy the opportunity to virtually connect with writing center professionals across the globe. All workshops will be held via an interactive, live streaming platform and will be available to complete asynchronously. Additionally, because of the lower costs of hosting the SI virtually, registration is only $400 (typically, registration is $900), which makes this year’s SI the most economical one yet. Just like in years past, participants can count on the experience including a generous mix of workshops, independent project time, one-on-one and small group mentoring, connecting with cohort members, and purposeful play. Schedule details forthcoming.

Only 40 registrations will be accepted. We will begin a wait list after the 40th registration.

Registration is now open for the 2019 International Writing Centers Association Summer Institute, which will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, from Monday, June 17 through Friday, June 21 (with an opening event during the evening of Sunday, June 16).

The Summer Institute (SI) is open to both new and experienced writing center administrators, scholars, and practitioners from universities and colleges, K-12 education, or independent writing centers. Since 2003, the SI has created the opportunity for writing center professionals to work with leaders from the field in whole-group workshops, small-group discussions, and one-to-one conversations.

The cost of registration will stay at the 2018 rate of $900/participant. The hotel cost is $149/night (plus tax); participants must stay at the conference hotel for the duration of the institute. Limited scholarships to cover a portion of the registration fee are also available. IWCA members can register and apply for a scholarship on the IWCA website at writingcenters.org. SI theme and additional workshop leaders will be announced in the next couple of weeks. Spread the word!
