New call for papers ALES roundtable in WRAB 2023
The Latin American Association of Writing Studies in Higher Education and Professional Contexts (ALES) in partnership with the International Society for the Advancement of Writing Research (ISAWR) invites ALES members to submit abstracts for our special roundtable to be held in the Writing Across Borders Conference (WRAB) 2023.
This ALES roundtable will be a space for international exchange where Latin American researchers will share timely regional work of global relevance with colleagues across borders. Presentations should address issues and challenges culturally and historically situated in Latin America which are globally relevant for a cross-border conversation on research writing and theory.
Language
ISAWR and WRAB organizers recognize the value of linguistic diversity. Accordingly, we invite researchers to submit original research papers in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Still, note that the working language of the conference is English, so presentations should be delivered in English or in any other language with accommodations for English listeners (interpreters, translated slides, etc.).
Submission guidelines
This call for papers will follow the same procedures and criteria as the WRAB regular call, except that papers in Spanish and Portuguese will be accepted here even without an English translation.
A special ALES scientific committee will examine the abstracts anonymously. You and your eventual co-authors will stay anonymous, but the ALES-WRAB committee needs to know who you are.
