Midwest Winter Workshop 2017 @ University of Iowa

Midwest Winter Workshop 2017 @ University of Iowa - Save the Date!,
Matthew Houdek and Heather Roy

After a one-year hiatus, we are pleased to announce that the 11th
Midwest Winter Workshop will take place on January 28, 2017 at the
University of Iowa. The (mostly) annual, student-organized workshop
offers an excellent opportunity for graduate students and faculty from
throughout the region to engage one another on issues related to the
study of rhetoric, to workshop graduate student papers (at any stage),
and to make new connections and reconnect with old friends. The Bruce
Gronbeck Rhetoric Society, our local RSA Chapter, will host and organize
the event.

The MWW 2017 will feature morning and afternoon break-away panels and
sessions with faculty co-leaders and graduate participants, and workshop
pods where graduate students can gain valuable feedback from one another
and their faculty respondents. A keynote address featuring Dr. Raymie
McKerrow will highlight the activities and will serve as the BGRS's
annual Bruce Gronbeck Lecture. Dr. McKerrow will also be leading an
afternoon session and will participate in workshop pods.

As with previous MWWs, there is no registration fee for participants,
and we hope to reduce other costs by hosting graduate participants in
our own homes and apartments, and offer reduced-rate hotel rooms for
faculty and anyone else who wishes to pursue that route. Meals will also
be served.

Stay tuned for more updates coming soon, including a call for abstracts,
list of panels and sessions, and information regarding travel and
lodging. In the mean time, please reach out with any questions. We look
forward to seeing you all in January at the University of Iowa!

Matthew, Heather, and the BGRS
