Fall Academic Job Market Workshop: date TBD
We will be in touch with details about our annual Fall Academic Job Market workshop. In the meantime, for anyone going on the academic job market or up for promotion or tenure and developing your materials over the summer, check out CCW’s resources including a Review, Promotion, Tenure Guide, which offers suggestions that are useful for job applications, as well. The CCCC Statement on Community-Engaged Scholarship and Pedagogy in Rhetoric and Composition also provides useful framing language.
CONFERENCE ON COMMUNITY WRITING 2027
We hope you will be just as excited as we are that for CCW ‘27, we’re headed back to Detroit! We’re incredibly grateful to Adrienne Jankens and Chris Susak for their enthusiasm in hosting the conference for the second time, and to the English Department, which has very generously offered to host the conference again at Wayne State University. We will let you know dates and more details by early Fall of this year.
Wishing you all the best,
Veronica
