DMV Ideation Symposium: Organizational Futures of Rhetoric, Composition, and Writing Studies

English Friday, October 30, 2026 10:00 am - 3:00 pm McKeldin Library

Kofi Adisa, Angela Glotfelter, Jennifer Maher, J Palmeri, and Matt Pavesich invite you to a fall-flavored, in-person ideation session following the de-chartering of the CCCC organization from NCTE. We warmly invite anyone who lives in or around the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia greater metro area) and who has a connection to Rhetoric, Composition, and Writing Studies (RCWS) and/or CCCC to join this session. Lunch will be provided. 

Please fill out our free registration form by October 9 (there is no cost to attend) to let us know if you can make it (and also to stay on the list for any future events if you can’t). 

This session will focus on ideation and sensemaking around the local needs of RCWS community members in the DMV. As such, activities will invite participants to

  • Look to the future to explore possibilities and solutions in the wake of CCCC de-chartering

  • Assess the needs/desires of people at all levels and positions within RCWS for an equitable future

  • Define together what it means to be a part of RCWS

  • Continue the work of other ideation sessions

  • Share ideas with each other in community

  • Develop next steps for moving forward

 

Facilitator notes from these sessions will be available on the WAC Clearinghouse.
