Dr. Phyllis Ryder, the local host chair for the fourth Community Writing Conference, invites you to submit a proposal for the 2021 October conference. The proposal deadline is Friday, February 5th. The conference, Weaving Narratives For Social Justice Action In The Local, National, Global, will take place virtually on October 21-23, 2021 and will be hosted by GWU.
This national conference brings together community activists and nonprofit leaders along with faculty who work closely with communities through service-learning, community-engaged teaching, and/ or participatory research. Individuals come together to share stories and counter stories that address injustices. Individuals come together to highlight the strengths, beauty, and knowledge of local, national and global communities, and to create a space for coalition building and action.
Although the conference will be held online, conference organizers plan to highlight the DC-Maryland-Virginia region, where the local, national and global visibly coalesce. The conference committee welcomes proposals for workshops, interactive presentations, and creative displays and performances from community organizations.
Please reach out to Phyllis Ryder at pryder@gwu.edu if you have any questions.
