SUMMARY:2026 Thomas R. Watson Conference in Rhetoric and Composition
CONTACT:Stephen Schneider\, 5028522188\, email:stephen.schneider@louisville

DESCRIPTION:In 1995, Dr. Thomas R. Watson made a transformative gift to the
  University of Louisville English Department, endowing a conference in Rhe
 toric and Composition and a visiting scholar program. Thanks to his genero
 sity and vision we are able to create a sustained space where the field's 
 most pressing questions can be explored through genuine collaboration.\n\n
 Now in its third decade, the Watson Conference has become one of the disci
 pline's signature events — a place where new ideas are not just presente
 d but built together.\n\nWatson 2026 is designed around collaboration and 
 community. Each workshop invites participants to spend three days engaging
  in conversation, developing publications, digital projects, and scholarly
  resources. Past conferences have produced edited collections with leading
  university presses, special journal issues, and digital archives that con
 tinue to influence the field of Rhetoric and Composition.
