Several CCCC Standing Groups and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are holding a virtual option for their meetings in 2026, which occur during and following the 2026 CCCC Annual Convention. Below you will find dates and times for Standing Groups and SIGs that have provided information on virtual meetings. This list will be updated as we receive requests for meetings to be added.
Global & Non-Western Rhetorics Standing Group
Meeting Date & Time: Friday, March 6, 2026, 3:30–5:00 p.m. ET
Please join us for the annual business meeting of the Global & Non-Western Rhetorics Standing Group. Our business meetings focus on updating attendees on our group members’ accomplishments and discussing new opportunities, upcoming events, and our expanding web presence. For 2026, we will also undertake a semi-structured discussion of the Standing Group’s inception, evolution, and future direction, including institutional and extra-institutional challenges to that direction. All scholars interested in GNWR studies are welcome to join. To accommodate our members who live or work abroad, or who are otherwise unable to attend the annual Conference on College Composition and Communication, we will conduct our annual business meetings remotely via Zoom. Registration is required to help us track attendance. If folks need to disconnect a little early in order to get to the CCCC annual business meeting, that’s not a problem.
Sign up: Please contact Tarez Graban for a Zoom registration link.
The Role of Reading in Composition Studies SIG Virtual Meeting
Meeting Date & Time: Monday, March 16, 2026, 7:30–8:30 p.m. ET
The Role of Reading in Composition Studies SIG will be holding a virtual session in addition to the in-person session at the Cs. We look forward to sharing and discussing current research on reading, as well as exploring best practices for teaching reading. We anticipate that issues related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as teaching reading in this time of heightened political rhetoric and misinformation will likely arise in these discussions. We will also discuss Eric Levitz’s “Is the Decline of Reading Poisoning our Politics?” You are not required to read this article, and we will provide a summary of it for those who do not. We look forward to using this article as a jumping off point for discussion– for those interested– but will likely move beyond the article to address a range of issues of interest to attendees.
Sign up: Please contact Ellen Carillo to request the Zoom link and a PDF of the article.
