SIG Writing 2024 Call for Conference Papers & Research School Participation

The EARLI Special Interest Group Writing, Paris Nanterre University (France), Sorbonne Nouvelle University (France), and the University of Turku (Finland) invite proposals to the 20th biennial SIG Writing conference to be held at Paris Nanterre University, Nanterre, France, from 26-28 June 2024. Prior to the conference, from 24-25 June 2024, the Research School will be held.

The conference theme for SIG Writing 2024 is ways2write. Writing is a ubiquitous social and professional practice in most parts of the world. It takes on diverse, increasingly mixed and heterogeneous forms, manifests itself over ever wider spans of life and activity, exploits more and more media and technologies, and is increasingly fluid. The source and its individual and collective characteristics (age, cognitive abilities, human/non-human...), the medium, the context and the production objectives, time and space—all give rise to a diversity of writings and ways of writing, raising numerous questions in an interdisciplinary field. While the conference traditionally hosts a diversity of topics and approaches, proposals within the ways2write theme are particularly welcome.
