*Call for Papers (CFP)* We invite contributions for an edited collection on social media and writing within higher education entitled *Social Writing/Social Media: Pedagogy, Presentation, and Publics*. The prospectus for this project has been preliminarily approved by the WAC Clearinghouse's Perspectives on Writing book series, an imprint of Parlor Press that publishes books in free digital editions and low-cost print editions. We are committed to moving this project through the review process in a timely manner, both because of the timeliness of research on social media as well as our collective interest in seeing this book in print as soon as possible. This edited collection imagines social media broadly and encourages pieces that examine specific social media spaces such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc., within theoretical frameworks as well as pieces that look at writing within larger social media categories, such as micro-blogging, social networking, etc. We ask authors to consider their proposed chapter for one of the following three sections: - *Social media and pedagogy*: How are social media shaping and being shaped by educational issues related to writing studies? Pedagogy chapters should be theoretically informed and avoid atheoretical "what I did in my class" approaches. We welcome empirical and qualitative studies of pedagogical approaches. We especially welcome projects that engage in critical making pedagogies. - *Social media and personalities*: How do individuals use writing to create, maintain, and reshape their identities in relation to others? We are particularly interested in chapters that use critical, professional, or other theoretically informed approaches for examining social media and writing. - *Social media and publics*: In what ways are social media being used to develop and sustain writing-related efforts in local and national communities? We are specifically interested in chapters that interrogate civic engagement, politics, and/or activism vis-à-vis writing and social media. Contributors are encouraged to consider the following possible social media topics (however, other areas are welcome): - Literacy practices and communal norms about writing - Student writing produced outside of class - Pedagogies of possibilities and resistances - Critical issues in/and group dynamics - Issues of identity, anonymity, and pseudonymity - Privacy and surveillance within social media - End-User Licensing Agreements, Terms of Service, and/or copyright law - Non-alphabetic rhetorical activity - Digital divide and access issues for faculty, students, and/or community stakeholders - Service-learning and community-based research efforts in the community facilitated by social media - Genre-based analyses of social media activities Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words to Douglas Walls (Douglas.Walls at ucf.edu) and Stephanie Vie (Stephanie.Vie at ucf.edu) by June 15, 2014. Submissions should include full contact information and a brief biographical statement (including institutional affiliation) for all proposed authors. Indicate which of the three sections (pedagogy, presentation, or publics) where you see your chapter best fitting. Accepted authors will be invited to submit full chapter drafts by September 15, 2014. Initial queries are welcome. The editors will be in attendance at Writing Research Across Borders (February), the Conference on College Composition and Communication (March), Rhetoric Society of America (May), and Computers & Writing (June) and would be happy to meet to talk over proposals and/or chapter drafts.
