Composition Studies 52.2 (Fall 2024), Composition Studies 52.2 (Fall 2024)

The oldest independent periodical in the field, COMPOSITION STUDIES publishes original articles relevant to rhetoric and composition, including those that address teaching college writing; theorizing rhetoric and composing; administering writing programs; and, among other topics, preparing the field's future teacher-scholars. All perspectives and topics of general interest to the profession are welcome. We also publish Course Designs, which contextualize, theorize, and reflect on the content and pedagogy of a course. Contributions to Composing With are invited by the editor, though queries are welcome.CONTENTS OF COMPOSITION STUDIES 52.2 (Fall 2024): Editors' Introduction: Keeping the Ship Afloat, by Jacob Babb and Zachary Beare AT A GLANCE: We Are What We Teach: Writing Major Requirements Across Institutions by Tim Becker ARTICLES: Student-Authored Textbooks: Challenging Expertise, Establishing Authority, Shaping Discourse by Chris Friend "Talk About, Talk Through, and Reflect" Student-to-Student Interviews as Critical Interventions in Learning Community Assessment by Nicole Guinot Varty and Adrienne Jankens "This is Me, Writing" Undergraduate Students' Perceptions of Their Writing Processes Over Time by Chris W.
