Call for Papers: Symposium on Second Language Writing 2012

From http://sslw.asu.edu/2012

The 11th Symposium on Second Language Writing
Theme: Graduate Study in Second Language Writing
September 6-8, 2012
Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana

The Symposium on Second Language Writing is an annual international conference dedicated to the development of the field of second language writing--an interdisciplinary field of specialization that draws from and contributes to various related fields, including applied linguistics, composition studies, education, foreign language studies, literacy studies, rhetoric, and TESOL.

The theme of the 2012 Symposium will be Graduate Study in Second Language Writing. Specifically, it will address the process of earning a Ph.D. (from admission to graduation and beyond) with a focus on second language writing from the perspectives of both doctoral advisors and doctoral students working in a number of distinct institutional contexts. This theme will be addressed in plenary sessions via the personal stories of second language writing scholars who regularly chair second language writing focused dissertation committees and of their former doctoral advisees.

Proposals must be received by May 1, 2012.
