Information for Writing Instructors

This page shows a range of ways for people who specialize in teaching writing at the University of Toronto to explore and engage in the relatively new field of Writing Studies. It includes notes on finding employment and participating in professional development events. It also describes relevant professional associations that hold conferences, host mailing lists, and sometimes publish journals and books. See also the file Readings for Writing Instructors .

Job announcements for writing instruction at U of T are posted in various places, depending on the category of employment. To receive notices of job postings, current and potential writing instructors may join the email list WRITING-JOBS-L by sending an e-mail message to [email protected] . In the BODY of the message type a command of the form: subscribe writing-jobs-l firstname lastname. However, not all postings are sent to this list, so you would be wise also to look on the websites of writing centres and other writing programs, as listed elsewhere on this site.

Faculty Members: Postings for full-time U of T faculty positions (including those in writing centres and writing programs) are listed in the University of Toronto Faculty Positions webpage. All faculty members with appointments of twelve months or more, whether full-time or part-time, are represented by the University of Toronto Faculty Association ( UTFA ). You are advised to seek advice from UTFA before signing a faculty contract.

Sessional Lecturers and Writing Instructors: Each writing centre or program hires separately through the teaching unit (the college or faculty) to which it belongs. Find and visit unit websites to find notices about their positions. Positions for Sessional Lecturer and sessional Writing Instructor in most U of T writing centres and writing programs are governed by collective agreements with CUPE 3902 (Units 2, 3 and 4). Visit the CUPE 3902 website for information about the current contract agreements and about advancement procedures, and for the forms that must be used for job applications.

Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows: A few instructional units post specific positions for graduate students or postdoctoral fellows, who are also represented by CUPE 3902 under their own contractual arrangements. Check the CUPE 3902 website for information about contract agreements, and search websites of writing centres and writing programs for designated postings.

Professional Development Events

U of T Writing instructors from all three campuses meet several times a year for discussion and workshops, usually led by colleagues and sometimes by outside experts. Watch for notices from your teaching unit. You can also ask your supervisor to subscribe you to the announcement listserv WRITING-PD-L.

Professional Associations

The academic organizations listed here provide stimulus, support, and opportunities for discussion in the field of writing studies. Most hold yearly conferences, and some publish books, journals, or newsletters. Search by their acronyms to find their websites and to sign up for email lists.

Canadian associations are helping create a distinctive perspective on writing studies, not necessarily dominated by first-year composition courses and more open to collaborative teaching with faculty across the disciplines.

• CASDW (Canadian Association for the Study of Discourse and Writing): This bilingual Canadian organization focusses on research as well as practice. Its annual conference is held as part of the Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences each spring. Its listserv posts job information and other useful information.
• CASLL (Canadian Association for the Study of Language and Learning): Better known as Inkshed, this early and influential group has now wound up as an association. However, an archive of all its newsletters (1982-2015) is available in space provided by CASDW.  (Search for Inkshed Archives.) Inkshed Publishing remains in operation.
• CSSR (Canadian Society for the Study of Rhetoric): This organization focusses on scholarship about classical and traditional rhetoric. It often combines conference sessions with CASDW.
• CWCA (Canadian Writing Centres Association): This growing and lively organization also meets each spring. Its active listserv is a good source of practical advice and information about writing-centre management.
• STLHE (Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education): This large Canadian association holds yearly conferences that include attention to writing and faculty support. Its listserv posts jobs in teaching-support offices.

American and European Associations hold stimulating conferences and publish important studies. Their gatherings often provide opportunities for Canadians to caucus at their gatherings.

• ABC (Association for Business Communication): This group of academics and professionals sponsors several conferences each year and publishes two peer-reviewed journals. The members’ section of the website offers teaching resources and job postings.
• CCCC (Conference on College Composition and Communication): If you want to attend a huge and stimulating yearly US conference, consider this organization, Calls for proposals are due almost a year before the March conferences, which provide the chance to caucus with Canadian colleagues; the book fair is another attraction.
• NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) is the parent body of CCCC. It publishes books and journals (such as College English and College Composition and Communication ) and issues well-considered position statements (with bibliographies) on topics such as assessment of writing, ethical research practices, class size, workload, and digital literacy.
• EATAW (European Association for Teachers of Academic Writing)
• EWCA (European Writing Centres Association)
• WDHE (Writing Development in Higher Education—UK): search to find this year’s conference website.
• IWCA (International Writing Centers Association): The website offers information and resources from US and some Canadian university writing centres; it includes notes on conferences and links to hundreds of online handouts. The organization sponsors WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship (formerly the Writing Lab Newsletter ) and the Writing Center Journal .
• WPA (Council of Writing Program Administrators): A group of program leaders that sponsors stimulating listserv discussions of policy issues and issues thoughtful public statements (e.g., Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing ). It publishes a high-quality peer-reviewed journal ( WPA Journal , publicly available online), meets as a caucus at CCCC conferences, and holds a yearly summer symposium.

Vietnam veteran to launch special programs at toronto museum.

PIECES OF THE PAST — Carolyn Walker, left, and Linda McFerren of the Historical Society of Toronto stand by the World War I uniform worn by Dr. Robert Schilling of New Somerset and the footlocker he used while serving as a medic in England. The items are the latest additions to the group’s Main Street Museum, which moved last year to the Karaffa Recreation Center and is slated to feature a series of special programs starting on May 19. -- Warren Scott

TORONTO — Members of the group behind the Main Street Museum want more people to see the wide variety of historic items they have collected at its new location in the Karaffa Recreation Center and are planning a series of special events to attract more visitors.

The first, set for May 19, will feature the Rev. Mike Bongart, a retired local pastor who nearly died while serving as a combat pilot in the Vietnam War.

Bongart was almost left for dead after sustaining a shrapnel wound to his head after being forced to land his helicopter in a rice paddy.

He will share how his life was saved by a dedicated Army medic with whom he has remained friends more than 50 years later.

Carolyn Walker and Linda McFerren, members of the Historical Society of Toronto, said the museum will open at 1 p.m. that day, and Bongart will speak soon afterward.

They said it’s the first in a series of special events planned for the third Sunday of each month through the summer.

McFerren said the events could include a visiting speaker, special guest who will meet informally with visitors or a one-time exhibit and are designed to draw more people to the museum.

The group has been very happy with the additional space available to it since moving the museum from its previous location on Main Street to the former art room of the old Karaffa School at 1307 Dennis Way.

In recent years, the building was acquired by the city and has become home to the Toronto High School Alumni Association and other groups.

Walker said in addition to the special Sunday programs, the museum is slated to be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. each Tuesday beginning this week.

She and McFerren said past visitors will find some new additions, including the Army uniform of Dr. Robert Schilling, a local physician who served as a first lieutenant in the Army Medical Corps in England, and his military footlocker.

Among the latter’s contents was a letter Schilling had written to his 12-year-old son back home.

Walker and McFerren said they learned Schilling practiced medicine in Knoxville following graduation from the Ohio State University School of Medicine and ultimately settled in New Somerset.

There he was known as an avid gardener and beekeeper and is said to have provided, for $2, a medical exam, pertinent medications, a tour of his garden and some of his homegrown produce.

Donations to the museum and questions from the public often have led members of the historical association to delve into local history.

A reflection of that tendency is a new exhibit entitled “So Now You Know!,” which features the stories behind people whose names continue to leave a mark on Toronto.

McFerren said the idea behind the display, which occupies a large section of the former classroom’s blackboard, was to answer such questions as “The Daniels Building — why is it called that? Or the S.C. Dennis School — who was that?”

Walker said among the many individuals featured is Michael Myers, a government scout during the American Revolution and an early settler of Toronto, establishing a grist mill and tavern in the Croxton Run area.

She said Myers’ brother, George, had given him 100 acres of land, which he later sold to John Depuy, a real estate developer who established Newburg, the forerunner of Toronto.

A local street and an apartment complex bear his name.

“These people touched the lives of the residents of Toronto,” she said.

To further raise awareness of the museum and city, the Historical Society of Toronto is selling several stickers bearing logos for the museum; the Toronto Tribune, a newspaper that served the community for many years; the River Rat character created by local author Bob Petras and other images.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — On May 15, 2019, I stuffed odds and ends from my bookshelves and desk drawers into a cardboard box, walked out of my Ohio University office, jumped into my SUV and headed northward.
