It was great to see everyone at the 2018 Computers & Writing conference (#cwcon) in Fairfax, Virginia! Held May 24-27, this year’s conference was hosted by Douglas Eyman and his team at George Mason University. The theme for the conference was Digital Phronesis: Code/Culture/Play. Presentations and talks were given around topics that intersect digital rhetoric, practical wisdom, embodied experience, pedagogy, ethics, and more.
As with past C&W conferences, we put out a call for conference panel and keynote reviews, and are glad to showcase a handful of them here. These reviews give us a glimpse at the conference. We hope you will enjoy them and continue the conversation with us by responding in the comment section or tweeting us at @SweetlandDRC.
A special thank you to all of the reviewers for your thoughtful reviews!
