Babb & Beare aren't pretending to be neutral—they've taken stances in their classrooms and programs. But as editors, they're holding space for the full spectrum. They spent most of 2025 building a generative AI policy they're already calling "an evolving document."

The editors' introduction to CS 53.2 considered calling itself an AI hallucination. It references Terminator 2, cites a McSweeney's satire, and catalogs every AI construct in science fiction. Underneath the humor, it's doing something genuinely difficult. 🧵
Researched, drafted, reviewed, revised, edited, and published—by people who believe the field's questions matter. Which piece are you starting with? #CompositionStudies #RhetComp #WePersistAllTheSame
Six book reviews covering AI and writing, feminist technical communication, systemic bias in STEM, critical language awareness, DJ rhetoric, and multimodal transfer.
23 contributors. 19 sections. 1 issue. The table of contents for Composition Studies 53.2 is here. Here's what's inside—and who made it. 🧵
@compstudies These aren't four separate debates. They're a field reckoning with what comes next. Six articles. Two course designs. Four field-level responses. Read the full issue at compstudiesjournal.com. #CompositionStudies #RhetComp #WePersistAllTheSame
@compstudies 04 — Composition as academic discipline / composition as political obligation. Four scholars respond to what the field owes the present moment. They don't agree with each other.
Issue 53.2 of @CompStudies is built around four tensions the field is sitting with right now. A thread. 🧵
Our editors see photography as a metaphor for composing—framing, organizing, attempting. Dozens of tries before the one that works. What do you return to in your work—not because you have to, but because you're still looking? #WePersistAllTheSame #CompositionStudies #RhetComp
"I write with a loving respect and patience for words in the same way I slow down, watch and wait in a kind of sustained engagement with nature." —Michael J. Day
Every cover has a story. Every issue of Composition Studies starts with a cover. This one started with a walk along the Kishwaukee River. Meet Michael J. Day, the photographer behind 53.2's "Peekaboo Raccoon." 🧵
Some big changes at Composition Studies. New submission policy: five-paragraph essays only. New section: Hot Takes. And a lifetime achievement award for Reviewer 2. Happy April Fools. 53.2 is coming soon—peer review included. #RhetComp #CompositionStudies
Something's happening at the journal this week. We're not ready to share the details yet—but you'll want to check back on April 1st.
