Submitted by Kiwi on February 11, 2004 - 11:37.

The Graduate Research Network (GRN) invites proposals for the 5th annual GRN on June 10, 2004, at the 2004 Computers and Writing Conference in Honolulu, Hawai'i.


The GRN is a full-day, pre-conference event, free to all registered conference participants. Round-table discussions group presenters with similar research interests with discussion leaders for a full day of conversation, commiseration, and exploration. We welcome those pursuing work at any stage, from just beginning to formulate questions to those ready to pursue publication, and the GRN is open to undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty or others doing work in the field.

Use the online submission form at http://www.georgiasouthern.edu/~writling/GRN/2004/submit.html or contact Janice Walker at jwalker@georgiasouthern.edu for more information!

This year, all student or non-tenure-track/contingent faculty presenters at the GRN are also eligible to apply for the 2004 C&W Travel Award Grants. See the online application form at http://www.georgiasouthern.edu/~writling/GRN/2004/application.html.

GRN Submissions are do by April 20, 2004, be included in the print program; however, submissions will be accepted until the day of the conference for participation.

Hawaii C&W

Submitted by platypus matt on February 12, 2004 - 13:05.

I'm still unhappy that Hawaii was chosen for this year's C&W location. Unfortunately, I can't just pull $1000 from "savings" and go to GRN, and I don't like the idea of asking "real professors" for charity. No thanks; I know that professors aren't making that kind of money. I don't want charity or a tropical vacation. What I want is for the most pertinent conference in my subfield to be accessible.

I think Hawaii was a tragic choice for C&W. Conferences are expensive as it is, and I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't need the "tropical vacation" aspect to get excited about an academic conference that pretty much represents my subfield. As far as I'm concerned, the location should be chosen based on mutual accessibility. Everyone I talk to about C&W is not going because of the expense of traveling to Hawaii.
