College Composition and Communication publishes 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.

Extending the CCC Conversation
On March 4 at 4:00 pm EST, Cindy Selfe and Doug Hesse will continue a conversation they began in the Interchange section of the current issue of CCC. They invite you to join the conversation as they consider two questions. First, how do we define composition? And second, what does this definition mean for our teaching of first-year composition? The seats for this virtual conversation are limited, so please reserve your seat early. And when you sign up, feel free to identify additional questions you’d like to add to the conversation.
