Description
The Disability in College Composition Travel Awards, offered by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), recognize and support scholars whose work advances understanding of disability in the context of composition and rhetoric. The awards aim to promote the value of disability as diversity, encourage inclusive practices, and support the use of disability as a critical lens in research and pedagogy. The program is especially committed to uplifting nontraditional researchers and those with limited institutional support, and welcomes projects at various stages of development that contribute to critical disability studies within composition.
