Jonathan also collaborates with Otto Kruse from Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland. Art Young and Donna Reiss, Clemson University (South Carolina, USA) have been collaborating since 2003 with Magnus Gustafsson, Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden). Their project Website Cross-Cultural Collaborations Among Swedish and American Students links to the student collaborations and to presentations about the projects at conferences. Multidisciplinary discussions about writing and technology and about reading and responding to poetry in translation focus on ways that cultural influences affect our understanding of texts. Charles Bazerman has established ongoing contacts with several universities in Brazil, particularly the Federal Universities of Pernambuco, Santa Maria and Minas Gerais. He is working with the organizing committee of the Fourth International Conference on Genre (SIGET IV) in Florianopolis in August 2007 to maximize international participation. Tiane Donahue: will be “professeur invité” at l’Université de Lille in February-March 2006, exchanging ideas with graduate students about North American writing studies and French writing studies, and carrying out collaborative research. (this actually seems almost too specific or personal—but maybe not—maybe we all really would be interested to know who is connecting where) Joan Mullin has primarily worked with Margo Blythman and Susan Orr (who is now at St. John’s College in York), originally both at the University of London of the Arts, and with Jane Milton from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. She has done workshops in the UK, and regularly attends WDHE, EATAW and EWCA, collaborating with colleagues on keynote panels in Athens and Istanbul. Gerd Bräuer (formerly Emory University, now University of Education, Freiburg/Germany) is leading a so-called Comenius 2.1 project, named “Scriptorium,” which is dedicated to the development of a teacher training program in the fields of writing and reading pedagogy and the establishment of a network of primary/secondary school writing/reading centers in Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Italy, and Germany. The project is sponsored with about 350.000 EUR by the European Commission (2005–2008). For more information about the project and how to collaborate with, please see http://www.scriptorium-project.org. Joe Essid, University of Richmond, began a wiki called “The Bosporus Project” in 2007 to link the efforts of writing centers in Greece and Turkey. The wiki provides a space for professional and peer tutors to share ideas and resources from their home institutions as well as from international conferences. ‹ Scholarly Periodicals | Main Resource List | Interested People › |
