CCCC CONVENTION, 2022  3

b1-34-4Cs-2022.indd 3

3/4/22 3:40 PM


Greetings from the 2022 PROGRAM CHAIR In the call for proposals for the 2022 CCCC Annual Convention, I began by asking us to consider why we are here. As I sit in my campus office, surrounded by brick walls, in an administrative space that reinforces work yet doesn’t stimulate writing and inspiration, I ask myself why I am here. How do I balance the often-thankless administrative tasks with writing the 2022 Program greeting that is designed to welcome participants and presenters into yet another virtual space? Do I address the elephant in the room, acknowledging how my hope to welcome us all back to an in-person experience was Staci Perryman-Clark 2022 Program Chair indeed altered by the lack of global progress in eradicating the COVID-19 pandemic? Greetings typically don’t begin with this kind of gloom; they are designed to excite people as they enter the convention space. Yet perhaps it would be tone deaf not to acknowledge how we have all been impacted by COVID-19. Some of us are still recovering from contracting the virus; others of us have experienced loss of family and friends from the virus, myself included. As we begin to enter yet another virtual space, I acknowledge the connections between public health and information literacy, diversity, equity, and inclusion. I acknowledge that indeed COVID-19 has shone a spotlight on many of the perils of higher education: It has exacerbated issues of access, privilege, power, and justice, and has required institutions and academic professions to respond in ways we haven’t responded before. But there is much promise in how we respond. The good news is that we are not charting new territory with a virtual conference experience. For the 2021 CCCC Annual Convention, Holly Hassel and the NCTE/CCCC team of staff and volunteers showed us that we can do a virtual conference and do it well. As we prepare to embark upon the journey of the 2022 Convention, I encourage us all to continue the tradition of doing virtual conferences and doing them well. As an organization of writing experts, teachers, and scholars, we know how to be nimble and how to adapt to new contexts and new challenges with new ideas; we know that flexibility and dexterity in writing entails what it really means to do rhetoric. We know what it means to assess our options, taking into account the lived experiences of members of our organization, what it means to approach people with empathy as we navigate stressful situations, and what it means to respect others and their lives so we can do whatever possible to protect their health and safety. And we also know what it means to balance safety and health with having a high-quality conference experience filled with purpose and integrity in pursuit of the advancement of our profession and our

3/4/22 3:40 PM


attendees’ and participants’ careers. Put more bluntly, we know how to walk and chew gum at the same time. Speaking of walking, I invite you to a space that encourages walkin the walk, as opposed to simply, in the words of my mentor Dr. Geneva Smitherman, “talkin that talk.” We know how to talk and walk, and that’s what we will do. In fact, this year’s theme, The Promises and Perils of Higher Education: Our Discipline’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Linguistic Justice, encourages us to do both. Whether through live, prerecorded, or on-demand sessions, you will see a significant volume of sessions that consider how we walk the walk with our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), while also talkin that talk about linguistic justice. In these virtual spaces, you will consider what promises and opportunities DEI work offers us to contribute to the mission of both our organization and higher education, and we will work together to identify and prevent any perils that may result in ignoring DEI work. We will see how traditionally white supremacist rules, values, and norms for writing are challenged in new ways, including writing in STEM and professional and technical writing fields. We will learn how no single genre of writing can afford to delegate the Students’ Right to Their Own Language (SRTOL) to genres where the inclusion of BIPOC languages and styles are most feasible and palatable to white audiences. Now is indeed the time to eliminate the celebration of code-switching as informed by conforming to white codes for assimilation and alleged survival. Now is the time because higher education institutions, most of which are grounded in white supremacist values of what education should look like, need BIPOC students more than BIPOC students need them. There is a reason why, while higher education enrollment is at historic declines, HBCU enrollments are bursting at the seams! While our Convention site is indeed a virtual space, you will still find many of the typical elements you would expect to see at a CCCC Convention, including a large array of virtual lounges for networking. In addition to networking lounges, I’ve noted a few highlights of the Convention below: • C’s the Day. Yes, C’s the Day is back in action and ready to give out those virtual sparkle pony equivalents. While it’s a fun game designed to reward and encourage networking, in all seriousness, C’s the Day enables many of us, especially those new to the discipline, to break out of our comfort zones. Whether or not this is your first CCCC Convention, I encourage you all to identify, meet, and chat with the scholars you’ve been reading about for the past few years. Really, we are human beings who are accessible. We’d love to listen and chat about your connections with our work. • Common Ground Conversations in the 4C Networking Lounge. Speaking of networking and chatting, we will continue last year’s Convention where participants can talk the talk in the Networking Lounge, a space facilitated and hosted by members of the Executive Committee. Discussions will include opportunities for our discipline and higher education to walk the walk. Specific

topics for application include enrollment management, DEI, writing program administration, antiracist teaching, and linguistic justice. • Research Network Forum and Teacher2Teacher. More networking is in order. We are pleased to bring back both the Research Network Forum and Teacher2Teacher in virtual formats. Please review the program schedule to locate the networking lounges for both events. • The SJAC Committee (Social Justice and Activism at the Convention). Once again, SJAC will also host a wide array of conference activities and events within our designated lounges. • TYCA. Don’t forget to register for and attend the annual TYCA Conference on Wednesday, March 9. Similarly to the CCCC Convention theme, The Promises and Perils of Higher Education, TYCA’s theme, Recovery and Reinvention in Our Profession: Emerging from a Recent Time of Crisis, also asks participants and attendees to consider the future of our profession and its relationship to current crises in higher education and beyond. • Chair’s Address. We look forward to 2022 CCCC Chair Holly Hassel’s address, “Writing (Studies) and Reality: Taking Stock of Labor, Equity, and Access in the Field” on Thursday morning during our opening session. • Awards. A CCCC Convention would not be complete without the celebration of our award recipients. On Thursday evening, we will honor our CCCC Scholars for the Dream recipients. On Friday, we will honor a number of our esteemed colleagues, including the Gloria Anzaldúa Rhetorician Award recipients, at awards celebrations. • Land Acknowledgement and Indigenous Activities. On March 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET, the American Indian Caucus will deliver a critical workshop on how to make indigenous space in higher education. I strongly encourage you to attend this workshop, as the guidance informs many of the activities around the decolonial work of our field and the conference. As the 2022 Program Chair, I expect that every live session will include a land acknowledgement from the space you currently occupy, which for me is Western Michigan University. A model of my land acknowledgment from Western Michigan is included in the program, as well as additional resources on how to support indigenous organizations and design your own land acknowledgments. • Virtual Concert. Featured this year will be a live-streamed virtual concert on Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., featuring Midwestern artists Tracee L. Perryman, PhD, Tawann Gaston, and a surprise special guest. This soulful musical performance will include selections that tie well with the conference theme for equity and justice. After celebrating our CCCC awards, please head on over to the virtual party as we celebrate through music and song.

• Keynote. I am elated that Anita Hill will be our keynote speaker for the 2022 Convention! Be sure to tune in at 12:30 to 1:45 on Friday, March 11, as she shares insights from her most recent book, Believing: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence. In sum, despite the challenges we continue to face and the crises at home and abroad, we continue to express our commitment to our discipline and organization. I encourage you to join us for yet another virtual experience at CCCC 2022, and use this time and space to consider what we aspire CCCC to be as we contribute to the mission of access, equity, and inclusion in higher education. Staci Perryman-Clark 2022 CCCC Convention Program Chair

Land Acknowledgement from the 2022 CCCC Program Chair

We would like to recognize Western Michigan University is located on lands historically occupied by Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadmi nations. Please take a moment to acknowledge and honor this ancestral land of the Three Fires Confederacy, the sacred lands of all indigenous peoples and their continued presence. For resources on developing your own land acknowledgement, please visit https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/ land-acknowledgement.

In Memoriam

This memorial honors scholars who have passed away during the last year. The CCCC Lounge will be used to share memories and reflections (3:30–4:30 p.m. ET, Friday, March 11). Attendees are welcome to light a candle, burn sage, or practice another ritual to memorialize our dear colleagues. Lisa Ede Mike Rose

First Time at the Convention? With pleasure, the CCCC Newcomers’ Orientation Committee welcomes all of you to the 2022 CCCC, but especially new members and first-time attendees. We have planned several events that we hope will help you get the most out of this conference. (These events and virtual locations are listed in the Special Events schedules in the program.) With the move to a virtual conference, our committee will host an Orientation Session one week prior to the start of the convention on Wednesday, March 2, at 4:00 p.m. ET. During this session, we will discuss how to navigate the virtual conference and its virtual program, how to participate in the conference’s many events, and how to meet others. We also look forward to meeting you at the Newcomers’ Coffee Hour on Thursday (Thursday, March 10, 10:30–11:15 a.m. ET), a congenial start to the first full day of activities, where you can begin the kinds of professional conversations that have made this conference one of the high points of the year for each of us. This year, we are also hosting a session called, “Career Quest: Navigating a Future in Composition, Rhetoric, and Writing,” (session F.4, Friday, March 11, 4:00–5:00 p.m. ET). This interactive session is designed for newcomers and early career attendees; its goal is to help participants develop a plan in which opportunities at the conference and within the organization can play an important part in their career development. Throughout the conference, the Newcomers’ Orientation Committee will maintain a Newcomers Welcome Booth located in the virtual Action Hub. There you will find information from the Digital Archive of Literary Narratives (DALN) where you can share your literacy story, a tip sheet for navigating the conference, a place to drop questions for members of the committee, hints on participating in Cs the Day (the conference’s interactive game), and more. One more thing: what would a conference be without a social gathering? Look for more info at the Newcomers Welcome Booth for our plan to get newcomers together for some fun and online conversation! We look forward to meeting you at one of the many events sponsored by this committee and hope you have a wonderful experience at 4Cs! With warm good wishes,

Two-Year College English Association National Conference TYCA National 2022 seeks to continue this conversation in its theme of “Recovery and Reinvention in Our Profession: Emerging from a Recent Time of Crisis.” We ask participants to consider what it means to recover from a particularly challenging time in our collective consciousness—and how that has and will translate to the way we think about teaching. What have we salvaged from our experiences during these times that can be pedagogically useful? What untold narratives and histories pertaining to writing in two-year colleges and our students’ lives can be uncovered and mobilized to create more inclusive learning spaces that reflect our diverse student bodies? How can we as educators help ourselves and our students heal from our individual and collective traumas?

Recovery and Reinvention in Our Profession: Emerging from a Recent Time of Crisis Wednesday, March 9, 11:00 a.m.–8:45 p.m. ET (separate registration is required) Schedule: 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. ET 12:15–1:15 p.m. ET 1:30–2:30 p.m. ET 2:45–3:45 p.m. ET 4:00–5:00 p.m. ET 5:15–6:15 p.m. ET 6:30–7:30 p.m. ET 7:45–8:45 p.m. ET

2022 CCCC Exemplar Award Winner Louise Wetherbee Phelps Dr. Phelps is Scholar-in-Residence in Rhetoric and Writing at Old Dominion University and Emeritus Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University. Her scholarship, which spans over three decades, constitutes groundbreaking and pioneering work in Rhetoric and Composition that has not only helped to shape the field, but to put it on the map. Phelps is exemplary in multiple senses of the word. Her contributions to the field have been numerous, foundational, and formational. The vastness of Phelps’ impact is reflected in a legacy of contributions to her fields of research, the development of the first independent PhD writing program, and her impact on fellow scholars and students, and NRC contributions, all of which have helped to build the field through her investment in pedagogy, community, and people. The letters of nomination supporting Phelps’ honor, emphasize her influence as a lifelong scholar and exemplary mentor, as well as a foundational thinker in the field. Her nominators write, “Phelps lives both definitions of exemplar. She uses her typicality to intervene, illuminate, and evince excellence and collegiality in ways that make her scholarship, mentoring, and presence astonishingly enduring. . . [s]he shows us that living means developing—being vibrant and alert, incisive and generous, and resilient and contributory. . . continually renewing one’s gravitas across an evolving career and using it to support and guide others.” When discussing her mentorship, one of her former students stated, “In all of my career, I’ve never had a mentor work more closely with me to shape me as a scholar and professional . . . . An exemplary teacher invests in the writer. The latter role requires more, and frankly, few are willing to invest that level of time and commitment in mentoring when other activity is more appealing. But those who do, like Louise, change the lives of those they mentor.” At a national level Dr. Phelps has led efforts to put the field on the map through coordinating the Visibility project, which gained recognition for Rhetoric and Composition/Writing Studies in educational and academic database codes so that the field would become legible in national statistics of higher education. With federal recognition from the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, we were able to gain a presence on the national and international stage. Rhetoric and Composition/Writing Studies finally had a home. Most recently Dr. Phelps’ efforts are visible at Old Dominion University in a program she has helped guide even in her retirement. Testimony to Phelps’ multigenerational influence is evidenced in her work as an engaged mentor who continues to train multiple generations of writing teachers, researchers, and scholars. She has further led the development of

3/4/22 3:40 PM


the CCCC Task Force on Cross-Generational Connections. In this fashion, she has worked tirelessly to bring together theory and practice and to advance shared matters of concern. In this way, her work has mattered much to the field and made her deeply deserving of the CCCC Exemplar Award. Today, Louise’s work on seniority, identity, and literacy offers a pathway for the future of the field. Such work, particularly her latest work on what she calls “slow composing,” which draws upon her commitment to caring in professional work and the ways we change together over time, speak of Phelps underscores for this committee the multigenerational contributions Phelps has made. The selection committee is excited to identify Louise Wetherbee Phelps as recipient of the 2022 Exemplar Award. The breadth and depth of Dr. Phelps’ scholarship, and programmatic contributions to the field, the legacy of her continued mentorship, and her ethic of ‘slow composing’ exemplify what the committee identified as a ‘lifespan literacy’ of service to the profession worthy of emulation.

2022 Chair’s Address Holly Hassel

Writing (Studies) and Reality: Taking Stock of Labor, Equity, and Access in the Field

Holly Hassel

In her call for proposals for the 2022 CCCC Annual Convention, Associate Chair Staci Perryman-Clark asked, “As a discipline, how do we remain relevant? How do we use the work that we have done with access to make the case for postsecondary enrollment to prospective students? What does college writing instruction promise to do for students who have the choice to attend/not to attend college? And what are the perils of not making our case?” The 2022 Chair’s Address will take up these and other related questions in the context of a pandemic-affected higher education landscape.

To be relevant and effective going forward, our professional organizations must adapt to a materially different composition of the college teaching workforce, including the long-term labor trends of academic work. More recently, students’ education at all levels has been disrupted. Some students are choosing the workforce instead of postsecondary education; some would choose college but have been structurally excluded; some have attempted college but rigid and old ways of doing things have pushed them out. Within this context, we have an opportunity to rethink what we do as an organization (and more broadly, professional organizations related to writing studies/English studies) to better serve our least-supported students and teachers (graduate teaching assistants, contingent faculty, full-time lecturers and instructors working off the tenure track, writing center support staff, two-year college faculty, faculty at minority-serving institutions, and college reading and literacy instructors, as a start). In the 2022 Chair’s Address, I will provide an overview of the labor and teaching conditions of today’s college writing teacher: who teaches courses that support students’ literacy development in college. I will focus on how the pandemic has intensified trends that already existed in the labor of writing teachers and in students’ college enrollment. On the one hand, we could argue that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted everything we thought was true about higher education and the teaching of college writing. On the other hand, we could argue that it has only exacerbated inequities that were already evident in our institutions and classrooms—in the labor of postsecondary writing instruction and in college-going behaviors by students. The goal of the address will be to identify how our professional organizations can adapt

to the changing landscape of higher education and how professionals in our field can be part of this vital work. Nearly everyone who stays in higher ed and gets a degree in English and its constituent fields will work in a position that emphasizes teaching—as Manzo and Mitchell reported in Inside Higher Ed in 2018, “In 2015, there were more than 3,000 four-year colleges and universities in the United States, and 115 of those have been designated as R1 institutions by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. That means that only 4 percent of colleges and universities have a reward structure (tenure, promotion, and so on) in which research is more highly valued than teaching” (Manzo and Mitchell). Teaching-intensive work (particularly in college transition and the lower-division curriculum) is the norm and the future of a career in English studies. It is demanding, rewarding work and is poised to become more so in the future while also being the most devalued part of the academic job profile. Luckily, we can learn here from two-year colleges, who have always served student populations with extra-academic demands on their time, labor, and attention and barriers to higher education, and whose primary faculty responsibility has been teaching. However, the 2022 CCCC Chair’s Address is not another call to value TYC work (which has been persuasively made previously by John Lovas, Carolyn Calhoon-Dillahunt, and many others), though it is a recognition that such work is undervalued and understudied. I will draw from pedagogical and policy work of two-year college teacher-scholar-activists to offer strategies for college writing teachers and program administrators in the coming years. Even as we finish a third academic year of disruption, resulting in mental health crises, decreasing enrollment for our most vulnerable and marginalized students, and grief and loss of loved ones or planned futures, our students need to develop rhetorical awareness and information literacy; they need to be able to communicate and advocate in multiple settings (social media, electronic contexts, at city council and school board meetings, in newspapers), and they also need to be able to have a rhetorical flexibility and proficiency that will enable them to be retained to and graduate from college. As we look forward to how we will prepare our graduate students and new colleagues to teach in this extremely varied set of institutional contexts and to students whose needs will be more diverse than ever, we need strategies that allow our programs to both be of the system and to ask more of the systems they are part of. Whether it is reimagined policies in our departments and institutions; partnerships across and between two-year colleges and universities or high schools and college; more accessible and inviting professional opportunities in CCCC and beyond; or evidence-based initiatives that are built on data, stories, and counterstories, the current moment calls upon us to strengthen professional ties. The 2022 Chair’s Address will invite attendees to consider how they can sustainably and meaningfully contribute to that vital mission. With structured opportunities for interaction with other attendees, the Address will help member-attendees identify personal goals and develop

strategies for equity and access work in their classrooms, programs, institutions, and professional organizations. Holly Hassel is Professor of English and Director of First-Year Writing at North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND. She graduated with her PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2002, and taught for 16 years at the University of Wisconsin–Marathon County, a two-year campus of the state-wide institution, University of Wisconsin colleges, until the institution was dissolved and resigned its accreditation in 2018. She is past editor of Teaching English in the Two-Year College (2016–2020). Since 1996, she has primarily taught first-year writing. Most recently, she is proud of her coauthored book with Dr. Cassandra Phillips (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee @ Waukesha), Materiality and Writing Studies: Aligning Labor, Teaching, and Scholarship, appearing through the Studies in Writing and Rhetoric Series in 2022, and her coauthored textbook with Dr. Christie Launius (Kansas State University), Threshold Concepts in Women’s and Gender Studies: Ways of Seeing, Thinking, and Knowing (third edition, 2022), for making feminist knowledge transparent and accessible to new college students. She received the TYCA (Two-Year College English Association) Nell Ann Pickett Service Award in 2020. Holly Hassel CCCC Chair

Approaches to Teaching and Learning

(Re)Conceptualizing Online Writing Instruction: Designing and Teaching Online Academic Writing Courses for Multilingual Writers Sponsored by the CCCC Online Writing Instruction Standing Group

In this two-hour workshop, the facilitators will guide participants through an adaptable framework of three main categories for decision-making in (re)conceptualizing their online academic writing courses specifically for and/or including multilingual writers. Indeed, the framework could be adapted for any online writing course with an academic language writing focus. By the end of the workshop, participants will be better prepared to design and teach writing courses for multilingual writers in their contexts as specifically outlined in the CCCC Statement of Second Language Writing and Multilingual Writers, Parts 3 and 5. Participants will leave the workshop with the adaptable framework (and their initial work on it) to refer to iteratively as their online course design and teaching evolves over time. In addition, participants will leave with sample lessons and syllabi. This workshop would benefit all novice and experienced online writing instructors, as well as WPAs aiming to meet the needs of linguistically diverse learners in their writing programs.

OD-28 Now That We’re Here: Demanding and Enacting Inclusion in Academic Spaces Two graduate students at different stages in their PhD programs and one of their undergrad professors talk about enacting “diversity and inclusion,” since students and faculty already come from different life experiences: we are Black, Brown, queer, urban, and disabled now. We offer a call to action based on listening as “diverse” students tell us who they are and what they need.
