We are pleased to invite proposals for the University of Washington English Department Writing Programs’ fifth annual Praxis Conference, which will be held at the UW Seattle campus on Friday May 30th, 2025. The theme for the conference is “Multiplicity” (understood broadly to include how to honor and support the multiplicity of our students’ identities, knowledges, modes of communication, and languages) and its possibilities as they relate to our teaching of English. More information about the conference theme and proposal suggestions can be found in the Praxis 2025 Call for Proposals.
Proposals for 75 minute breakout sessions or posters should be 250-500 words and for one of the following types of presentations:
- 15-20 minute presentation from one to two presenters
- 75 minute panel (including Q&A) from multiple presenters proposing three related presentations on a topic related to the conference theme
- 75 minute roundtable discussion with audience members
- 75 minute workshop where presenter(s) lead participants to engage in a topic related to the conference theme and help work on participants’ own materials
- Poster presentations that address any topic related to the conference theme or English teaching; see this resource on preparing a poster: How to poster (Colorado State University)
Deadline for submissions: March 21, 2025 by 11:59pm PST
Acceptance notifications will go out before the end of April.
