In the teaching of writing, the notions of the public and the private invariably intersect. Private or personal writing from our students becomes public when it is shared with the teacher, the writing class, or online. We intend to consider in this conference the meanings and implications of this intersection of public and private discourse. We invite presentations that discuss the relationship between writing and all manner of discourse in terms of the the evolving and expanding grounds of our profession, presentations that explore writing in terms of the intersections of public, private, and academic writing, and presentations that connect academic, public, and private writing to social and political issues both within and outside of academia. We invite papers, workshops, and roundtable discussions that address these and related concerns.
