The 2011 Midwest Writing Centers Association Biennial Conference<\/a> will take place here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison <\/a>October 20th-22nd. This year\u2019s theme, \u201cOn the Isthmus,\u201d gestures quite literally to the conference\u2019s location, but also to the quality that makes this conference unique: just as writing centers bridge disciplines, locations, and widely diverse writers, so does this conference connect writing studies professionals across institutions, interests, and multiple points of view.<\/p>\n

In fact, this year\u2019s conference is unprecedented in its size and diversity. This MWCA<\/a> conference is its largest ever, with over 300 attendees from Midwest states like Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, and Nebraska, as well as those making the trek from as far away as Florida, Colorado, Georgia, South Carolina, and Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. Attendees can look forward to three pre-conference workshops, a welcome reception, a keynote address, a featured closing session, three special-interest sessions, 43 individual presentations, 27 panels, 13 workshops, 12 roundtables, three fishbowls, three performances, and two lightning talks. Needless to say, there is much to look forward to.<\/p>\n

Marquette University Assistant Professor Beth Godbee says that, for her, MWCA is \u201ca place for challenging and extending my thinking about composition theory, practice, and pedagogy.\u201d And the variety of the presentations on this year\u2019s program attest to how far one\u2019s thinking might extend. Pre-conference workshops range from developing a writing fellows program to viewing the writing center as a research site. Panel presentations focus on topics as diverse as \u201cTransatlantic International Writing Center Collaborations,\u201d \u201cRethinking Dissertation Support in the Writing Center,\u201d and \u201cThe Writing Center and Student Athletes: Writing Center Consultants at the Football Study Table.\u201d Further, Professor Godbee says that the relationship-building opportunities of a smaller, specialized conference are important to her, as she\u2019s \u201cmet many close colleagues-friends through MWCA\u201d and is looking forward \u201cto making new connections as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

This opportunity to bridge and connect is central to this year\u2019s conference, with presentations addressing relationships across institutions\u20142-year and 4-year writing centers, university and community centers\u2014many of which are presented collaboratively by writing center professionals of differing institutional positions\u2014undergraduates, faculty, directors, and graduate students. A panel on \u201cAdapting Writing Center Pedagogy to an Elementary School Setting,\u201d for example, will be presented by a writing center director, adjunct tutor, and undergraduate tutor. \u201cWeaving an Effective Web of Writing Center Relationships at Small Liberal-Arts Colleges,\u201d for example, will also be presented by undergraduate consultants from Coe College<\/a> in Iowa together with writing center director and Professor Robert Marrs.<\/p>\n

In fact, Marrs, who is bringing 17 of his undergraduate students from Coe, is committed to involving a wide variety of writing center professionals in conference conversations. \u201cThese trips are invaluable in helping the staff acquire new ideas we can adapt for our own Writing Center, and at the same time they are forced to explain to other people what we do at Coe and why we do what we do,\u201d says Marrs. As a small liberal arts college, Coe has a staff of entirely undergraduate tutors, and conferences like MWCA\u2019s expose students to writing center expertise beyond Marr\u2019s direction, ensuring a professional, prepared staff.<\/p>\n

For undergraduate attendees or for those who advise or direct undergrads, one special interest group meeting (SIG) especially offers ideas about the larger profession of writing center studies: \u201cHow to Keep Doing What You Love\u201d offers undergraduates a unique opportunity to hear from faculty about how undergrads can continue studying and teaching one-to-one writing work in writing center, rhetoric\/composition, and WAC\/WID graduate study and in careers as professional writers.<\/p>\n

As Professor Marrs says, MWCA is an opportunity \u201cto keep rethinking what we are doing and how we do it.\u201d The conference\u2019s two keynote addresses especially show how valuable radical \u201crethinking\u201d can be for writing center studies. We\u2019re very sorry that Professor Eric Darnell Pritchard from the University of Texas at Austin will not be able to join us as our keynote speaker, and he sends his deep regrets. But we’re delighted that Professor Deborah Brandt from the English Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of the top literacy scholars in the United States, has graciously agreed to speak at our Friday keynote luncheon.<\/p>\n

\"Professor
Deborah Brandt, UW-Madison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Deborah Brandt’s research focuses on social and economic histories of mass literacy; the status of mass writing within late twentieth and early twenty-first century culture; and diversity, equity, and access in literacy learning. Author of Literacy in American Lives<\/em> and of Literacy and Learning<\/em>, she is currently working on a project called “Writing Now: New Directions in Mass Literacy,” a study that explores the ascendancy of writing as a second stage of mass literacy, focusing on the impact of writing as a means of production in the American economy since about 1960.<\/p>\n

\"Professor
Michele Eodice, University of Oklahoma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And on Saturday afternoon, Professor Michele Eodice–who is Executive Director of Learning, Teaching, and Writing at the University of Oklahoma and co-author of The Everyday Writing Center<\/em>–invites you to meet at the \u201cCharette,\u201d a group brainstorming method from architecture. Eodice will call on all attendees to draw connections and build bridges between the tremendously varied expertise at the MWCA conference.<\/p>\n

Even as conference attendees share knowledge, make connections, and challenge each other\u2019s theory and practice, Professor Marrs also notes that it\u2019s \u201cimportant that these trips are a lot of fun.\u201d MWCA has taken fun seriously, weaving it throughout this year\u2019s conference. Thursday\u2019s welcome reception features the Chick Singer Band<\/a>, led by the talented Madison College English Department faculty member Anna Purnell and self-described as \u201ca lounge-\"chicksingerband_logo1\"<\/a>a-licious band of musical masterminds.\u201d There\u2019s also plenty of fun to be had around the table, both during the on-site conference luncheons and at the diverse restaurant options around campus, as presented in the conference\u2019s locally produced Madison Restaurant Guide. Conference participants, as well as those who aren\u2019t able to attend, can follow all of these conference happenings and highlights on the MWCA Twitter feed<\/a> (twitter.com\/m_w_c_a).<\/p>\n

As Professor Godbee says, \u201cFall in Madison is absolutely beautiful\u2014what a wonderful place to have the conference this year!\u201d This year\u2019s MWCA\u2019s attendees can take a short stroll out the Pyle Center\u2019s doors to watch the sailboats dotting Lake Mendota and enjoy the oranges and reds of autumn\u2019s falling leaves. Such a location for this varied and exciting conference will undoubtedly invigorate the hundreds of brilliant writing center thinkers who find themselves ready to network, re-boot, inspire and be inspired \u201cOn the Isthmus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
