Grants and Awards

CCCC offers numerous grants and awards for travel, research, publications, programs, and service, to name a few. All CCCC awards are given annually and are presented at the CCCC Convention each year. Please see the detailed information for each award including criteria and submission deadlines.

Committees

CCCC accomplishes much of its work through the use of committees. It is because of committees that we have position statements, award programs, even a conference itself. Please visit the committee website to learn more about current charges and activities being undertaken by these hard-working groups of CCCC members.

CCCC/NCTE Policy Analysis Initiative

A network of NCTE, CCCC, and TYCA volunteers track state policy developments impacting English language arts, English studies, literacy, and the humanities. These volunteers, one covering P12 education and one covering higher education in each state, provide other members with analyzed information about state policies. With this knowledge, educators can better participate in the policymaking process that affects them, their students, their institutions, and their communities. Learn more.

Writing Studies Tree (WST)

The Writing Studies Tree (WST) is an online, crowdsourced database of academic genealogies within writing studies; in other words, it is an interactive archive for recording and mapping scholarly relationships in Composition and Rhetoric and adjacent disciplines. Explore the network of people and institutions, create new nodes within that network, or participate in discussions about what you’ve discovered or where to go next! Learn more.

Call for Manuscripts: Contingency and Online Education (Deadline: October 1, 2018)

The CCCC Studies in Writing & Rhetoric (SWR) series, established in 1984, aims to influence how writing gets taught at the college level. The methods of studies vary from the critical to historical to linguistic to ethnographic, and their authors draw on work in the many various fields that inform composition—including rhetoric, communication, education, discourse analysis, psychology, cultural studies, and literature. Their focuses are similarly diverse, ranging from studies of individual writers and teachers, to work on classrooms and communities and curricula, to analyses of the social, political, and material contexts of writing and its teaching.

Agents of Integration: Understanding Transfer as a Rhetorical Act
Author: Rebecca S. Nowacek
ISBN: 978-0-8093-3048-5
The question of how students transfer knowledge is an important one, as it addresses the larger issue of the educational experience. In Agents of Integration: Understanding Transfer as a Rhetorical Act, Rebecca S. Nowacek explores, through a series of case studies, the issue of transfer by asking what in an educational setting engages students to become “agents of integration”— individuals actively working to perceive, as well as to convey effectively to others, the connections they make.

About

The CCC Online Archive was designed by Collin Brooke, past CCC Online Archive editor, and Derek Mueller at Syracuse University primarily as a research tool, an online supplement to the journal College Composition and Communication. Among other things, the designers provided an additional point of access to the content of the journal, multiple search protocols for exploring that content, and means of surveying and generating metadata for the journal. Their guiding principles were access and visibility, in the context of making CCC both increasingly and variously available to the scholars in the field. This content was previously available through the Syracuse University website, however, in August of 2011 it was moved to this more permanent location within the CCCC/NCTE site to make it accessible to CCCC members. Finding Content There are two ways to find content in the CCC Online Archive:

1. Use the site search in the upper right corner of this page to find content with Key Words/Tags, author names, and/or article information.
2. We have compiled a master list (PDF) of all issues that are available in the Archive. The CCC Online Archive volume numbers in the links correspond to the volume numbers of the CCC issues that they refer to.

The debut, special issue of CCC Online is available NOW!

College Composition and Communication Online publishes stand-alone webtexts comprised of digitally-mediated research and scholarship in rhetoric and composition studies that supports college teachers in reflecting on and improving their practices in teaching writing and that reflects the most current scholarship and theory in the field. The field of composition studies draws on research and theories from a broad range of humanistic disciplines—English studies, rhetoric, cultural studies, gay studies, gender studies, critical theory, education, technology studies, race studies, communication, philosophy of language, anthropology, sociology, and others—and from within composition and rhetoric studies, where a number of subfields have also developed, such as technical communication, computers and composition, writing across the curriculum, research practices, and the history of these fields.
