The 2021 Conference on Community Writing was held virtually on Thursday, Oct 21 - Saturday, Oct 23, 2021. The theme, “Weaving Narratives For Social Justice Action In The Local, National, Global,” highlighted the unique ethos of our host city, DC and the broader DC-Maryland-Virginia area. Our keynote speaker, Winona LaDuke, reflected on her own writing process and the interplay among writing and activism. See the full Call for Proposals here.
CCW 2021 was well-attended, with almost 200 more participants than previous years, including more community organizations. Many attendees remarked that CCW created an intimate, energetic space, where a community of scholar-activists-citizens came to share knowledge and strategy.
The conference was co-hosted by The George Washington University with generous support from the University Writing Program and the Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service.
