2027 CCCC Annual Convention

The 2027 CCCC Annual Convention, themed "Design Writing Futures," calls for proposals that explore how writing studies can cultivate foresight and envision more inclusive, just, and imaginative futures. It addresses topics like rhetorical criticism, multimodal composing, community engagement, language justice, writing program administration, and design thinking. The conference invites engagement with possible, plausible, probable, preferable, and preposterous futures for writing, pedagogy, and community engagement, aiming to challenge fatalism and systemic oppression. A special cluster, "Futures beyond Crisis," focuses on resilience, collective care, and reparative imagination, prompting attendees to rethink teaching, research, scholarship, and service in writing for positive change.
