About
the Graduate Research Network Online 2002
Computers
and Writing Online 2002 announces the Graduate Research Network
Online, coordinated by Veronica
Pantoja and Rebecca Rickly.
As the C&W Online 2002 companion to the C&W 2002 Graduate Research
Network, the Graduate Research Network Online is a forum for graduate
students and recent graduates to discuss research projects and work in
progress of interest to those working with Computers and Writing, with
experienced researchers, editors, and peers. As part of Computers and
Writing Online Conference, the Graduate Research Network Online will take
place as a series of events on Nouspace
MOO. The Graduate Research Network Online strongly encourages all
graduate students, including those who will present at the Graduate
Research Network at C&W 2002 to participate in the online event.
You are welcome to present the same topic at both events.
While we have a variety of events planned, the heart of the Graduate Research Network Online will be the small group discussions, which will group those with similar research interests with discussion leaders who will facilitate discussion and offer suggestions for developing research projects and for finding suitable venues for publication. We encourage anyone interested or involved in graduate education and scholarship--students, professors, mentors, and interested others--to participate in this important event.
We welcome those pursuing a wide variety of research models (qualitative studies, quantitative studies, textual/hypertextual/intertextual studies, traditional or electronic theses/dissertation projects, etc.) at any stage, from those just beginning to design a project to those whose projects are ready to pursue publication. Those intending to participate in the onsite event at Illinois State this year are strongly encouraged to present your work as part of the Graduate Research Network Online as well. All work-in-progress presenters and discussion leaders will be listed in the CW Online 2002 Website.
To participate in
the Graduate Research Network Online you will need to
