CFP: CCCC2026 Sponsored Panel- Transnational Composition Group
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to propose a panel on topics related to transnational composition research and teachingfor the 2027 Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC). This panel will be sponsored by the Transnational Composition Standing Group.
Preference will be given to panel proposals that speak to the conference’s theme, Design Writing Futures, as described in the 2027 conference call, and present strong alignment with one or more of the Transnational Composition Group's objectives, simplified below:
- Expand the conceptual horizon of U.S. based teachers and scholars of college composition through an examination of postsecondary writing in other national contexts.
- Document how approaches to writing instruction and practice in a variety of national contexts interpenetrate and inform one another.
- Explore questions related to theories and ideologies of language, particularly the ways in which these issues shape and are shaped by language choices and standards, literacy practices, identity, power relations, and pedagogy in the context of transnational literacy instruction and scholarship.
- Address concerns about the role university-level writing teachers play in the commodification of composition instruction and theory in light of current global geopolitical relations.
International and non-US based scholars, early career teacher-scholars, and graduate students are especially encouraged to participate and/or serve as respondents.
Please submit panel proposals (no more than 4000 characters and spaces) for consideration by 11:59 pm EST on May 1st, 2026 (allowing us time to review proposals before the official date for submission to CCCC is May 27th, 2026). Please email your proposals to Xiqiao Wang xiw...@pitt.edu and Lisa Arnold (Associate Chai) lisa.r...@ndsu.edu.
All proposals will be reviewed by members of the TCG Executive Committee (EC).
Please don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions. We hope you’ll consider contributing to our sponsored panel at CCCC2026 and look forward to reading your submissions. If you were at our social gathering/business meeting and wanted to continue working on an idea emerging from the conversation, we are happy to connect you to colleagues.
Best Regards,
Xiqiao and Lisa (on behalf of the EC)
