CFP: Technical Communication & Culture: Southwest/Texas Popular and American Culture Assn
Conference Date: February 9-12, 2005
Conference Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Submission deadline: December 1, 2005

With the immense use of technology and methods for explaining technical concepts, the election cycle offers fascinating intersections of technical communication and popular culture. Yet, the election cycle is only one of the many areas possible for
analyzing these intersections.

Proposals for papers and panels on the intersection of technical communication and popular culture are welcome in areas such as the following:

--Genres: websites, television, flyers, reports
--Ideology, power, and ethics
--Pedagogical implications: how do we “teach” these new methods and genres?
--Collaboration, structure, and culture: how does the workplace affect these?
--Philosophies and research methods
--Visual theory, design, usability, especially of online environments

Share your ideas and join us for the 26th meeting of the Southwest/Texas Popular and American Culture Associations Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. February 9-12, 2005 Hyatt Regency, Albuquerque
