Forum on Plain English

IPERS has been organizing Forums on Plain English at UHD since 2008. The forum is a biannual event that aims to bring together practitioners and educators for meaningful discussions of writing issues and training sessions to share new information about the plain language movement and government initiatives. In the past, the event was sponsored by Humanities Texas, the Faculty Development grants, and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at UHD.
