As language and communication instructors, we have an abundance of experience about what writing does and can do, both inside and outside our classrooms. As researchers, we work from empirical insights on the situated purposes, processes, and possibilities for writing and its practice. In direct and indirect ways, agentive tools increasingly impact “how we write, what we write, and the networks and assemblages in which we write” (Bedington et al., 2024, p. 1). Growing access to artificial intelligence (AI) applications changes the affordances with which students and instructors plan projects, generate ideas, and structure their documents. As these changes are underway, instructors encounter “much under-informed punditry” making assertions about writing pedagogy, with neither formal study nor experienced teaching to support or guide those assertions (Majdik & Graham, 2024, p. 224). A core challenge we face as scholars and teachers of writing is not that there is too little extant research and understanding about what writing is or does. Rather, the issue is that this research is not prominent enough. So, what does our collective writing studies knowledge suggest in relation to this newly animated topic of writing about, with, or against generative AI tools? This paper asks: which of our core disciplinary insights are most relevant at this moment and how do they help us frame the teaching of research and writing in relation to generative AI tools? Given both authors’ research and teaching backgrounds, this analysis focuses on conceptual structures and empirical insights provided by rhetorical genre theory and genre-based pedagogy.
Here is how we put it in the introduction of our recent paper. 3/

Book cover for "Our Charge To Keep" with the quoted text: “Too often we judge the language practices of African Americans against the backdrop of systems that were not meant for them, not created by or for them, and, in fact, were established for the express purpose of excluding them! Let us not try to recreate our students in the image of the ‘masters’—those scholars whose ideologies and use of language have traditionally been esteemed by Western culture, nor assume students’ weaknesses can only be strengthened by traditional mechanisms.“ —Kem Roper, “What Are We Here For?: Antiracist Pedagogy in HBCU Writing Centers“
"HBCUs are a robust source for new and innovative scholarship
on antiracism, antiracist assessment, and linguistic justice."
Why yes, yes they are. #writingstudies #teamrhetoric #ownvoices
So many editors‘ time and energy is being wasted.

"We suggest that the scientific community needs to think carefully about where we find worth in what we do. LLMs are eroding that space."

Notes on the student essay from a classic, Womack, "What Are Essays For?," 1993:
The essay is "a culturally specific form of communication which has not always existed, and which depends for its existence now on some quite definite institutional contexts" /1

Kairos is pleased to announce the publication of Issue 30.2, featuring new webtexts to tickle your fancy: kairos.technorhetoric.net
Featured texts in this issue, a 🧵:

Current AI models work with snapshots of what was on the internet circa 2022. These sources in turn foreground older, already heavily cited sources. A feedback cycle that drives model collapse.

My goal this year is to post more often about interesting #writingstudies and #teamrhetoric research. Was organizing some notes from last year, and here are a few insightful quotes from Shelton, "Queer(ing) the Bias Monster and Subjectivities." 1/

Roundtable information for the session at the CCCC conference titled "Editing and Publishing in Writing Studies: Practical and Ethical Considerations in Scholarly Reviewing Practices"
✅ Flight to Cleveland acquired
✅ Hotel room booked
✅ Roundtable with some very smart co-presenters (led by @jacobbabb.bsky.social @timothyoleksiak.bsky.social) officially on the conference program
Looking forward to nerding out about the ethics of academic peer review in #writingstudies at #CCCC26!
Thinking of buying notebooks for my students (first-year writing class) for in-class notes and writing in order to shift to a minimal laptops-in-class environment. Has anyone done this recently and have any tips for making this painless?
