Call for Proposals

Notifications of acceptance were sent out on December 4, 2009.

Contact conference organizers at "wac2010@indiana.edu".

The information below is left as an indication of what those attending the conference could expect to see.


Each concurrent session at IWAC 2010 lasts 75 minutes, allowing 60 minutes for presentations and 15 for discussion. Conference chairs Laura Plummer and Jo Ann Vogt welcome proposals for engaging, interactive

  • 20-minute individual presentations
  • 60-minute multi-presenter panels

as well as

  • 3-hour pre-conference workshops
    (to be held Thursday morning before concurrent sessions begin)

There is no delimiting theme. Potential WAC topics include: administration, assessment, curriculum, economics, faculty development, history of WAC, interdisciplinary collaboration, student learning, politics, research, school/college collaboration, sustainability, teaching, technology, theory, writing, and other forms of communicating across the disciplines. We particularly encourage collaborative projects among contributors from varied disciplines.

Individual presentations were grouped by shared topic, and a session chair was assigned; all multi-presenter proposals should have identified a session chair among the presenters.

Proposals required a short, one- or two-sentence description of the presentation along with a 250-word abstract (and another 250-word abstract of the entire session in the case of panels) and could be edited until the deadline date of October 19..
