New Proposal Deadline: June 30, 2006

Quinnipiac University's First National Conference on Writing as Critical
Thinking Across the Disciplines invites proposals from all disciplines,
and especially from inter-curricular and cross-disciplinary teams, which
highlight the integration of Critical Thinking Research with the best
practices of teaching Writing and Rhetoric Across the Disciplines. What
are the challenges in, and new pedagogical possibilities for, joining
these two far reaching movements in higher education? How can faculty
across the disciplines help one another build new bridges between
cross-curricular writing and critical thinking?

We invite colleagues to consider one of three different themes for
defining proposals and organizing presentations.=20

Theme A--Starting Out: Writing to Learn as Critical Thinking or Vice
Versa?

Theme B--Getting Across: Assessing Critical Thinking Strategies and
Writing to Communicate Disciplinary Knowledge

Theme C--Going Beyond: New Directions in Critical Thinking and Writing
Across the Disciplines
