In 2021, the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC)  issued a position statement on “the Role of Reading in the College Writing Classroom”. In this statement, 4Cs “affirm[ed] the need to develop accessible and effective reading pedagogies in college writing classrooms” because it would help student performance across the university and in students’ roles as citizens in a democracy. The statement correctly notes that reading pedagogy is an issue writing studies has not taken up in a robust way for about 30 years and that it is now receiving attention at four-year institutions, though reading pedagogy has long been addressed at two-year schools.

orum: Issues about Part-Time and Full-Time Contingent Faculty is a peer-reviewed journal published by NCTE and CCCC to address working conditions, professional life, activism, and perspectives of non-tenure-track faculty. This special issue will be published in the fall of 2026. The submission deadline is January 20, 2026. Issues of identity shape not only who we are as faculty, but also how we perform and the connections we make in the classroom. Identifying one’s place, not just as an educator but as a person, has unique implications for part-time and contingent faculty in higher learning, both in and outside the academic spaces they take up.

JOIN CEA IN THE QUEEN CITY

On May 20, 1775—a year before the signing of the Declaration of Independence—the citizens of North Carolina declared their own independence from Great Britain in the Mecklenberg Declaration. Today, more than 250 years later, North Carolinians continue to celebrate “Meck Dec” and their history as “a free and independent people.” In the spirit of public proclamation and historic resolve, the College English Association announces its 55th annual conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, and our theme, DECLARATIONS. The CEA conference features papers, panels, and roundtables that address our discipline from multiple perspectives.
