Call for Papers
The 12th WDHE conference will be hosted by the University of Strathclyde and held in the lively and welcoming city of Glasgow in the summer of 2008.
The overarching theme of the conference is Times and Spaces for Writing to reflect our growing understanding of how, when and where writing happens in relation to higher education. To this end, we welcome proposals that address the conference theme from a broad range of theoretically informed perspectives. These may include, but not be limited to, digital writing, issues in addressivity, evolving discourses and genres, pedagogic and curriculum design issues, and emergent theory in relation to academic or creative writing.
Time and space for writing will be made available in the conference programme.
