GC Composition & Rhetoric Community (GCCRC)

The Graduate Center Composition and Rhetoric Community (GCCRC), a DSC-chartered organization, is comprised of a diverse group of students and faculty interested in not only what texts say, but how they say it, and how they come to say it – in short, how they are composed. This interdisciplinary group has been of particular interest to those who are teaching while pursuing their degrees because of our commitment to exploring writing-centered pedagogies, offering a support network for new and continuing graduate student instructors and hands-on training sessions for anyone interested. The GCCRC aims to foster discussions of writing studies and composition theory alongside our own local classroom experiences; these important connections between theory and practice regularly develop into extended discussions that group members have presented at national conferences.

Announcing the GCCRC Spring Schedule!

  • Posted by Amanda Licastro on January 16, 2013 at 5:23 pm

    Hello GCCRC,

    In anticipation of an exciting Spring semester we are pleased to share with you the GCCRC schedule of events. Meetings will be held on Monday nights (unless otherwise noted) from 6:30-8:30pm (directly after Peter Grey’s comp/rhet course) in room 5409 at the Graduate Center. As you will see we are fortunate to have many exciting guest speakers coming to share their wisdom with us, along with a few workshops that are back by popular demand (orals guidance! tech tools!). Also note, since the Conference on College Composition and Communication is March 13-17th and many of our members will be presenting, we will once again hold a practice run the week before to provide a forum for feedback. As always we encourage you to contact us to RSVP or express any questions/concerns at [email protected].

    Spring Schedule:
    Feb 11th : Mark McBeth’s Masquerade (Mardi Gras edition)
    Feb 25th : Jesse Merandy on Optimizing Your Orals Exam
    March 4th : CCCC practice-run
