Description
The Disability in College Composition Travel Awards, administered by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), recognize and support scholars whose work advances knowledge at the intersection of disability, composition, and rhetoric. These awards aim to foster diversity, access, and inclusive practices in writing studies by supporting researchers—particularly those with limited institutional support or prior funding—committed to improving the experiences of people with disabilities in the field. Recipients are selected for innovative contributions in areas such as critical disability studies, accessible pedagogy, community building, and advocacy within composition and rhetoric.
