YRC, 2001

Call For Papers


THE YOUNG RHETORICIANS' CONFERENCE
MEETS JUNE 21-23, 2001,
AT THE MONTEREY BEACH HOTEL

Language lovers converge as colleagues to unpackage the ideas and ideology that push-pull us as we contemplate the skills and joys of writing. The YRC (Young Rhetoricians' Conference) looks to issues that enable us to enable our students. Bring your concerns (ideological and/or intuitive) to the beach as we gather to rejuvenate ourselves and ponder what we are about~~where the Monterey Bay warmly greets general sessions, workshops, panels, and luncheons. Until March 2, 2001, we are accepting proposals for general and concurrent sessions. In keeping with the sense of the YRC, please try to show an interplay of theory and practice--not privileging the one to the other. You may submit a proposal for either a whole 90-minute panel (two or more persons) or for a place in such a session. This year the YRC considers
