A lifetime of development goes into becoming a mature effective writer who communicates important new thoughts to relevant audiences. Those who succeed at writing tend to start early and keep working at it throughout most of their lives. Research on emergent literacy points the way towards understanding how linguistic, psychological, sociocultural, compositional, and rhetorical components of writing come together in the developing individual writer. It is time to build a larger, lifelong picture out of the pieces of our research.

Admission to the seminar is free.
