IWAC offers a space for us to come together as a community to consider the complex and complicated histories of WAC and the potential evolutions of the field. In publishing the conference proceedings, we aim to provide an opportunity to extend and refine our conversations beyond the four days over which the conference will be held. We envision a collection of texts in dialogue with the various trajectories of WAC—as a practice and as a movement—a collection that helps us to better understand the lessons we have learned and to determine what we might take with us into the future.
We invite IWAC 2025 participants to submit revisions and interpretations of any conference presentation, roundtable, workshop, teaching demonstration, or poster. The editors of the proceedings welcome submissions from the practical to the theoretical, from the pedagogical to the public. We hope the collection captures the diversity of our perspectives as students, faculty, and administrators occupying a range of institutional, disciplinary, and cultural contexts. We particularly encourage submissions that inform and are informed by critical and social justice approaches to WAC.
We anticipate releasing the collection, published as part of the WAC Clearinghouse Perspectives on Writing Series, in late 2026 or early 2027, depending on peer reviews of the complete manuscript. Submissions should be 2,000-5,000 words, formatted in APA style. The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2025. Submissions should be submitted to the collection's page on the WAC Clearinghouse Submissions Portal.
The editors—Caleb González, Annie Halseth, —are also available to answer your questions at any time. At the conference, we will host a roundtable for those interested in discussing how they might revise for submission.
We look forward to seeing you online!
