2010 WPA Conference Sessions

Please note that this is the current version of the conference schedule. Conference attendees will receive a print program that looks more conventionally like a program; however, we provide this information so that you can begin to think about your conference experience.

All WPA 2010 sessions have been grouped into one of eight strands (Mentoring Project; Pedagogy; Labor, Leadership, and Program Direction; Community Collaborations and Connections; Well-Being and Creativity; Getting to Know CWPA; and Promoting the Message). These, too, will be indicated in the print program (but are not included here).

Click on any title below to view the abstract for a specific presentation. You can reorder the sessions table by session_room, title, or session type by clicking on the column headings.

Use the schedule that appears on the right to find the specific time for a session_room designation.
