Band: Fleshcoat featuring Dr. E
Keynote Speaker: Kenneth Bruffee, "What Being a Writing Peer Tutor Can Do for You"
2007 marks the 25th anniversary of peer tutoring at Penn State.
We want you to join us at the annual National Conference on Peer Tutoring in Writing (NCPTW) to celebrate your own peer tutoring histories. Let's dance.
Let's think, too. After all, any celebration involves planning, analyzing, problematizing, interpreting, theorizing, and preserving. The dance of peer tutoring requires unity of thinking and feeling through writing and speaking. Let's join in what rhetorician and compositionist Louise Wetherbee Phelps calls "the dance of discourse."
We invite tutors, administrators, and faculty who take the rhetorical stance of peership to submit proposals addressing the dance of peer tutoring in writing through history. What can the NCPTW community learn from your history? How can you engage your audience with the problems and solutions in your history and avoid mere show and tell?
Let's dance, together.
