This area seeks to investigate the changing nature of rhetoric and composition in our increasingly hyper-connected, globalized world. We welcome papers on a wide variety of composition- and rhetoric-related topics, including, but not limited to, the use of popular and/or American culture in writing courses, the role of popular culture in writing pedagogies, the changing nature of rhetoric, the rise of multimodal composition, the connections between the writing center and composition programs, ESL and dialect issues, composition and academic integrity, and the ways in which writing software is changing the composition process.
