Inkshed 18 will be held in Canmore, Alberta, a scenic resort town in the foothills of the Rockies. The organizing committee invites proposals on the topic of AReading Contexts,@ a theme encompassing both how texts are read and how writers Aread@ the varied audiences and contexts for which they write. Reading contexts may include the classroom, the workplace, and the media.

Participants might consider such questions as

• how students read (or learn to read) academic texts and assignments;
• how we can help students Aread@ the contexts in which their writing will be taken up by audiences real and imagined;
• how we create contexts for reading in our classrooms;
• how we read student papers and how they Aread@ our responses to their writing;
• how professional writers "read" contexts and how their documents are read; and
• how genre affects reading and writers= reading of context.
