Since it's for the whole department, the sources hold a range of views on AI (pro-inclusion to resisters), but I'd be interested to hear any other suggestions to include (sending up the #TeamRhetoric bat signal)
We made a book! Our edited collection called Storied Practices is out and about!!! wacclearinghouse.org/books/practi... Love to our contributors and my co-editors Kristine Acosta, Erica Stone, Becky Rickly, and Nancy Small for sticking together to work on this for all these years!!! #teamrhetoric

We love seeing advance copies! OUR CHARGE TO KEEP is hot off the press and a must-read for all writing center folks. In our field we don't talk nearly enough about the profound work that happens at #HBCUs so let's fix that #ReadUP #teamrhetoric #booksky #academicsky

A collage that reads: Funding Feminist Futures $1000 raised so far! Even $5 helps! :) The collage has images of a megaphone, an open mouth smiling, flowers, a film strip, colorful paper and tape, and hand-drawn stars.
The CFSHRC has helped graduate students get to their first conferences, funded feminist research, & recognized field-changing work in #TeamRhetoric. A few dollars from enough of us adds up fast, & your $5 keeps that going. 💓 #TheFeministsAreComing

and now all the #TeamRhetoric people will be furiously complaining about writing academic scholarship about this
Is anyone studying the experiences of academics who did grad school during the height of the pandemic?
I think lockdowns, online teaching, recurrent waves of covid, no conferences, etc. must have had effects on these new PhDs we should pay attention to
#academicsky #teamrhetoric #highered
#teamrhetoric wowwwwwwwwww
My thoughts on changes of footing as signs of possible disagreement are brought to you by my recent reading of this article. 8/

Our #4C26 impromptu Cultural Rhetorics reunion was too quick, but delightful all the same! Maria Novotny, Marilee Brooks-Gillies, Trixie Long Smith, and Rachel Robinson are amazing human beings and I’m grateful they inhabit my academic world! #CCCC #TeamRhetoric @ncte.org
Why should you come to #CCCC? Because you can run into fabulous old friends whose work you admire to boot! Wonderful to get to spend a few happy minutes together, Jennifer Sano-Franchini, Donnie Johnson Sackey, and Ada Hubrig! We’ll make it longer next year! #4C26 #TeamRhetoric @ncte.org
Women rhetorician filmmakers unite! #4C26 Stay tuned for our musings on YouTube and its many possibilities and challenges at next year’s conference. #WomeninFilm #WomenWriters #CCCC #TeamRhetoric @ncte.org

My students have a knack for making me feel hopeful about the future, and I didn’t know when I went to #4C26 that the group who call themselves the “Long Timers” would make me just as hopeful. What do academics do after they retire? They keep making the world better! @ncte.org #CCCC #TeamRhetoric
It is always, always, always (three for emphasis) marvelous to see Casey McAardle. I was so lucky to work with him and to be his friend at Michigan State, and I’ve enjoyed watching him soar ever since. #4C26 #CCCC #TeamRhetoric @ncte.org

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/

Hi #TeamRhetoric! RHM issue 9.1 is out now. In this issue, we explore how storytelling is a method for making sense of illness, grief, and uncertainty in RHM and beyond.
As the unofficial #TeamRhetoric ambassador I give you permission to do literally anything else other than watch the SOTU.
