[ecrea] International conference Genre 2012 - "Rethinking Genre 20 year later" June 26-29

Genre 2012 http://www3.carleton.ca/genre2012/index.htm will continue the 
tradition and scholarly conversation that originated with the first 
international colloquium on Genre Studies, "Rethinking Genre," held at 
Carleton University in 1992.

The goals of Genre 2012 are the following:

   * To create a dialogue among the three major traditions of Genre
     Studies: (a) English for Specific Purposes (ESP), (b) North
     American/New Rhetorical Studies, and (c) Australian Systemic
     Functional Linguistics (the Sydney School);
   * To present the most recent research developments in each of these
     three traditions with respect to writing in academic, workplace,
     and community settings;
   * To explore possible convergences among the three traditions; and
   * To provide a communicative space for discussion of other possible
     approaches to Genre Studies.
