TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The Southwest/Texas Popular Culture Association is accepting proposals for
papers in the Technical Writing area for its January conference in Lubbock, TX.
We are particularly interested in hearing talks from active practitioners of
technical writing. Subject matter must have a cultural angle (for example,
tech writing and corporate culture, tech writing and American or international
culture, or tech writing and its affect on the general public.). Past papers
have examined tech writing in our litigious culture, how tech writers gain and
lose power within the corporate culture, and the effect of globalization on the
writing of manuals.
Please submit a 200-250 word proposal by October 30 (snail mail please) to:
Dr. Michael Gos
Department of English
University of Houston-Downtown
One Main Street
Houston, TX 77002
The conference will take place January 29-31 on the campus of Texas Tech.
