SUMMARY:Creating Connections 2026
DESCRIPTION:Our theme for the 9th annual Creating Connections symposium on writing pedagogy is “Collaboration and Community.” This theme invites us to think about the ways writing helps us connect with our students\, colleagues\, and communities at large. In the face of dehumanizing technologies and increasingly divisive rhetoric\, collaboration becomes an act of resistance and care. This year’s symposium foregrounds how composition can be a shared practice to bring diverse–and sometimes disconnected–individuals and communities together. We will engage this theme through a range of interactive workshops and a keynote “lunch and learn” with Dr. Laura Gonzalez\, editor of Reflections: A Journal of Community-Engaged Writing and Rhetoric. Instructors will come away with a wide range of ideas to reinvigorate their teaching. \nThis event is free\, and we welcome interested UCLA graduate students\, instructors\, library staff\, and administrators from all departments and units to attend – please spread the word! Creating Connections is intended as an in-person event\, but we will provide a Zoom link (via RSVP) for those who would like to watch remotely. \nRSVP here by May 1\, 2026\n\nLocation\nYoung Research Library Main Conference Room (YRL 11360)\nZoom information will be provided via RSVP \nClick here for more information.
