For immediate release

Faculty and graduate students from UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, along with their colleagues at the Writing Program, will take part in 19 events, panels, and workshops at the 2007 Conference on College Composition and Communication in New York, NY, March 21-24. The scholars, researchers, and teachers will discuss the latest findings on topics such as emerging technologies and virtual values, interview-based studies of college writing, and genres as invitations into academic identities.

“The CCCC is a major national conference, and I'm delighted that UCSB will be represented so well at all levels – by graduate students, lecturers, and professors,” says one of the presenters, Dr. Karen Lunsford, Assistant Professor of Writing who is affiliated with the Teaching & Learning Emphasis in the Department of Education. “The presentations represent a remarkable range of scholarly research, and they illustrate the strong interdisciplinary collaboration between the Writing Program and the Gevirtz School.”

Since 1949, the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) has been the world’s largest professional organization for researching and teaching composition, from writing to new media. The CCCC supports and promotes the teaching and study of college composition and communication by 1) sponsoring meetings and publishing scholarly materials for the exchange of knowledge about composition, composition pedagogy, and rhetoric; 2) supporting a wide range of research on composition, communication, and rhetoric; 3) working to enhance the conditions for learning and teaching college composition and to promote professional development; and 4) acting as an advocate for language and literacy education nationally and internationally.
